In what is highly likely to be her final rollout, Discovery – as the STS-133 stack – departed from the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) Monday evening (7:23pm local time), before making good time for an arrival at Pad 39A, just after 1:15am. Meanwhile, the final External Tank (ET-122) – sporting its numerous repair patches – has been rolled into its Pegasus Barge, ahead of shipping to Florida on Tuesday.
