We're at T-15 minutes and counting...

And they say there will be a built-in ten minute hold, but we're still scheduled for a 1:08 PM launch.

it's so nice to actually be able to watch at home on TV, rather than on a browser window.

(T-12)

Love watching the birds and imagining how surprised they're going to be when the rocket goes up. There was an heron flying by at one point on Tuesday.

You're at home? I don't think we get NASA-TV on our cable box anymore.

It sounds like a perfect day for a launch.

I remember the birds. It's funny to see them fly past the rocket.

NASA TV is showing a beautiful satellite image of Florida.

The weather check-in remarked that "proton flux is within normal levels."

That sounds way too Star Trekky. :-)

They seem to have just reported green for all weather constraints...

Channel 12 at some parts of the day.

Uh-oh. Clouds need to thin out more...

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

Trend towards the better! Clouds are thinning out!

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

All systems go pending weather.

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

No go on the range coordinator. Dang.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Now no-go for ceiling issues...standing by for further updates.

New T-0: 1:25 PM

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

I think they said they want a new T-0 of 1825 Zulu.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Which is 18:25 Z.

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

When I first opened the NASA TV window on my computer, I thought it looked too cloudy, but was hoping it was just the angle of the camera.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

Now they're saying they can't support 1825Z.

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

1830Z is new T-0

[batwrangler.livejournal.com]

New T-0:18:30 Z.

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

The suspense is killing me...

[gnomi.livejournal.com]

They're pushing it back again.
