Yah, 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?
I was up but Discovery wasn’t! Storms moving in over the Cape, launch now set for Wednesday.
That sounds like lots of fun.
thats cool.
it stinks that it got scrubbed. Do you know if it got re-scheduled?
Well Sara, I just checked the NASA site http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html and it looks like Friday at 12:22 am will be the earliest Discovery could launch.
I know this isn’t about the topic, but………how do you change/set a picture?
You can’t, they are auto-generated.
Mission delayed again, now set for 11:59 pm Friday. The decision was made to allow engineers more time to analyze the valve functioning.
thats sounds like fun to wake up really early
Some of you were asking did I stay up Friday for the launch— sure did, but I didn’t travel to the coast just watched from my house. I always like to view the launches, night or day.
I want to make a website.Oh yeah, when did this lauch happen?
Launch was 11:59 pm Friday. Go to htttp://www.nasa.gov
