Cape Canaveral prepares for the seventh space shuttle mission with Sally Ride, the first U S woman aboard, and four male astronauts. Liftoff set for Saturday after a 49 hour countdown. The crew includes Robert Crippen, Rick Hauck, John Fabian, and Norman Thagard.

The mission marks the largest crew on a single shuttle flight and aims to shorten next mission prep by landing on the launch site runway.
