CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Discovery and seven astronauts rocketed into orbit before dawn Monday on one of NASA's final stockpiling missions to the International Space Station.
The launch - the last scheduled one in darkness for NASA's fading shuttle program - helped set a record for the most women in space at the same time. Three women are aboard Discovery, and another is already at the space station, making for an unprecedented foursome.
