A bright moon bears witness to space shuttle Discovery's rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, traveling at less than 1 mph atop a massive crawler-transporter. First motion was at 5:17 a.m. EST. The shuttle and mobile launcher platform are being moved by the massive crawler-transporter to Launch Pad 39A. Discovery is targeted to launch to the International Space Station Feb. 12. During Discovery's 14-day mission, the crew will install the S6 truss segment and its solar arrays to the starboard side of the station, completing the station's backbone, or truss, enabling a six-person crew to live there starting in May.
