http://www.spaceflightnews.net - Space shuttle Discovery rolled out to launch pad 39-A today for launch on mission STS-128. The shuttle almost didn't make it to the launch pad when technicians had to battle a rain-drenched crawlerway that slowed the shuttle's trip to launch pad 39-A and threatened to force NASA to return the crawler transporter back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Stopping often to clean muck of the transporter's tracks, workers finally completed the journey nearly 12 hours after it began, nearly twice as long as usual.
