This is the pic of the space shuttle Discovery being fueled, not for a fight though but for a flight on friday. This is being done in Kennedy space center based in Florida. I was reading about this and I was like amazed to know that the external tank capacity of Discovery space shuttle is about 1.6 Million pounds of liquid fuel. This is huge huge amounts of fuel.
But when they were trying to fuel it the day before they found some bad spot in the fuel tank due to which, they had to stop fueling it and the launch was delayed to friday. Hope you get a glimpse of it somehow....
