Leak fixed, shuttle good for next Monday launch (AP)

Donald discovered this notable piece over at Yahoo!. From the article:

This undated photo released by NASA shows the connecting point in a fuel line, labeled and circled by NASA, which had been leaking on space shuttle Discovery’s right-side orbiter maneuvering system engine. NASA said Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010 that it will empty Discovery's on-board fuel tanks, then replace two seals in the line that had been leaking. The job at the launch pad will take the rest of this week. If all goes well, the shuttle will remain on track for a Nov. 1 liftoff to the International Space Station. (AP Photo/NASA)AP - NASA has cleared space shuttle Discovery for one last flight after fixing a leaky fuel line.
