SHUTTLEWAKEUP2007-10-24-1193241515.jpgThe crew of the Space Shuttle Discovery got their day going early with a special request by Rochester native Pam Melroy's husband.
 
The crew received their wake up call just after 1:30 this morning. The song played was "Dance Dance" by the Christmas Rebels. The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas is tracking the progress of the Discovery after launching it at the International Space Station yesterday.
 
The main objective of the Discovery's two-week mission is to install a new module on the ISS. The shuttle is scheduled to arrive at the ISS tomorrow.
