Sunita Williams has entered the shuttle to take the right-side seat on the middeck. The spaceflight rookie is riding the shuttle to the International Space Station where she will join the Expedition 14 long-duration resident crew and replace departing crewmember Thomas Reiter. A European Space Agency astronaut, Reiter will return to Earth at the conclusion of Discovery's flight to complete a half-year in orbit. Williams will remain on the station until STS-118 next summer.

Just catching up---What is launch time? Is it a go or no go, due to weather?

Here is an interesting (to me) tidbit of information about Sunita Williams. Among her many sports hobbies she lists bow hunting.

Rookies get to sit in the mid deck.

I was reading a book where Storey Musgrave, on his last flight (5th or 6th) rode the entire re-entry and landing, standing up. No one was gonna make him take his seat!
