The parking lot was packed with Harley's and such.

All systems go... ...the countdown begins

7-13-05 Discovery
On 7-13-05 bad weather delayed Space Shuttle Discovery from launching.
The crowds sat patiently until the launch was scrubbed around noon.
Discovery launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center July 26, 2005,
ending a two-and-a-half year wait for the historic Return to Flight mission.
