Space shuttle Discovery is now inside the expansive confines of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building following a move from its processing hangar this morning. A metal sling will be carefully connected to the spacecraft and then operators will hoist it from transfer aisle to the high reaches of the 52-story building before lowering it into place beside the external tank and solid rocket boosters. Workers will then connect the shuttle to the tank giving the stack its familiar launch day form.
