We had a successful lift off for Space shuttle Discovery-STS-120 mission, today.
It will deliver the Harmony module and will reconfigure a portion of the station in preparation for future assembly missions. STS-120 is being flown by Space Shuttle Discovery, and will be the 23rd space shuttle mission to ISS. The completion of the mission will leave eleven flights remaining in the Space Shuttle program until its end in 2010

Stowed on-board the orbiter, in addition to a new module for the international space station, will be the original prop lightsaber used by actor Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the 1983 movie "Star Wars, Episode VI: Return of the Jedi". The laser-like weapon is being flown to the orbiting outpost and back in honor of the 30th anniversary of the George Lucas-created franchise. ...
