Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Space Shuttle Discovery appears to leap from the midst of palms as it rockets into the blue sky from Launch Pad 39B on mission STS-121, kicking off the fiery festivities of Independence Day. Liftoff was on-time at 2:38 p.m. EDT. During the 12-day mission, the STS-121 crew of seven will test new equipment and procedures to improve shuttle safety, as well as deliver supplies and make repairs to the International Space Station.
