Mission Control Practices Launching Discovery

Before every shuttle launch, the astronauts train with their ascent team in Mission Control Houston. In this episode of NASA Behind the Scenes, astronaut Mike Massimino introduces you to some of the STS-133 Mission Control team members as well as the people who work in the back rooms. Also, sit in the "front room" as shuttle Discovery runs through a simulated launch.
