Andy,

Doesn't look like the Shuttle is going up today.

STS-119 to Launch No Earlier Than Sunday
Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:36:03 PM CDT


Space shuttle Discovery’s launch to the International Space Station now is targeted for no earlier than March 15. NASA managers postponed Wednesday’s planned liftoff due to a leak associated with the gaseous hydrogen venting system outside the external fuel tank. The system is used to carry excess hydrogen safely away from the launch pad.

Liftoff on March 15 would be at 7:43 p.m. EDT. The exact launch date is dependent on the work necessary to repair the problem. Managers will meet Thursday at 4 p.m. to further assess the troubleshooting plan.​

However, the countdown clock on Nasa's site has it at 1 day, 2 hours and some change. That would put it at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow night.

Thanks for the update!!!

$7.99 for 24 hours. Who the Heck wants to sit in an airport for 24 hours? They really need a 3 hour plan.

See my previous post regarding the shuttle. Looks like it is on the 12th according to their calendar.

WOW, even our local news at noon today said it was scheduled to launch tonight........

Good luck with that! In the Atlanta airport, amazingly, there are some good places to grab a bite.

The girls went looking for salads. I know there is a sandwich shop down from where we are sitting, they went to see if they have salads as well.
