Discovery's fuel tank arrives
Delivery keeps launch on schedule
Quote:
A shuttle fuel tank rode its barge into Kennedy Space Center under a blue sky and rolled into the Vehicle Assembly Building under the sliver of a moon Wednesday night.
Its next journey will be to the launch pad and then to space during a launch as soon as May 10, if NASA has its way.
There is no extra time built into the schedule. The team is excited and confident, launch director Mike Leinbach said during a Tuesday briefing.
However, "if we run into a big gotcha, we don't have much time to resolve it," he said.
