|  Discovery is go for launch: Friday night 1159 PM! Space Shuttle Discovery is go for launch! She is scheduled to lift off at 1:36 AM Tuesday morning. She carries a crew of seven and a cargo of supplies for the International Space Station. One of her crew members, Astronaut Nicole Stott, will be staying at the ISS, and Astronaut Tim Kopra will be returning to earth with Discovery. Weather is good, Discovery is fueled and it's looking good for launch!

| Sadly, as of a few minutes ago, according to breakfast TV, Discovery is no longer go for launch, with it delayed 24 hours. It's a shame, as with the time difference, we could've watched the night launch live over here.

| Steve stayed up until almost midnight watching NASA TV and then DVR'd the no-launch! He said that every system was green for launch except for one weather system that remained red. Oh well! It's rescheduled for tonight at 1:10 AM! I am thinking we will DVR it rather than stay up!

| I saw the first post and thought it must've been scrubbed again, as there was nothing about it on TV this morning, then I saw your second post. Oh well, I guess it'll get up eventually.
