The Space Shuttle Discovery remains on the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, despite the approach of Hurricane Dennis. Dennis's westward track through the Gulf of Mexico has removed most of the fear that it could damage the shuttle.
"The current forecast shows only a slight chance of more than 40 knot winds effecting KSC on Saturday," NASA officials reported Thursday.
Discovery remains poised for its scheduled July 13th launch.
