Space Shuttle Discovery blasted off October 11, 2000 on the 100th mission (STS-92) of the space shuttle program. Seven astronauts docked with the International Space Station for seven days and performed 4 EVAs.
Discovery's crew consisted of Commander Brian Duffy, Pilot Pamela Melroy (remember her? She was the one who had Alan Parsons Project's Prime Time as her wake up call!), Mission Specialist 1 Koichi Wakata (remember him? He would be the first Japanese commander of the ISS!), Mission Specialist 2 William McArthur, Mission Specialist 3 Peter Wisoff, Mission Specialist 4 Michael Lopez-Alegria (remember him? He's the first Spanish-born astronaut in space!), and Mission Specialist 5 Leroy Chiao (remember him? He's the one who saw UFO lights during an EVA!).
