Astronauts are spacewalking again at the International Space Station in the third and final spacewalk of shuttle Discovery's mission.

Rick Mastracchio and Clayton Anderson floated out early Tuesday morning, an hour ahead of schedule. They will pick up where they left off Sunday, connecting fluid lines on the ammonia tank they attached last time.
