Space Shuttle Discovery has been Postponed until February

They have delayed the Launch of Space Shuttle Discovery once again this time it is now scheduled for February 3rd 2011. This will also delay Endeavor's last launch which had been scheduled for the end of February. Stay tuned for info on Endeavor's launch I am sure they will announce that soon too.

Watching a launch from while in Orlando is one of the most memorable events of my life. I wonder what the possibility is of it being delayed until Dec 2011, so I can catch the last one?

I believe it's been moved to a "launch window" which opens 2/3 so another delay is possible.

We were at KSC on 11/29 and the folks told us they expect it to be taken back to the VAB for a fuel tank swap out. Will see whether or how that plays out.
