Space shuttle Discovery was originally scheduled for a November launch, but no one in the crowd which showed up last Thursday to witness the takeoff seemed to mind the three-month and twenty day delay.

WUFT-FM’s Kristi Posson travelled to Cape Canaveral where space enthusiasts came out to witness history.
