DiscoveryYah, I know I need my sleep, and I need to be ready for school in the morning but everyone I know will be up at 1:36 am EDT Tuesday (tomorrow).  How about you?

I’ve been sitting at my computer watching live feed from the Cape. The sun is setting and Discovery’s on the launch pad bathed in light, vapor coming off the external fuel tank. Really a beautiful site.

I am a little concerned about the weather both at the coast and here. There maybe some rain and concerns about lightning near the launch site and here we might have cloud cover to obscure the site.

I’ll be watching the forecast tonight before I set my alarm. Hmmm 1:30 am or 6:30 am?
