[Rasher]

As posted in our holiday thread and Blog
The space shuttle been canceled a number of times now, and they have changed the take off date to today.

This means we have got the chance to go and see it it.
We will be leaving in a bit to sort out a new hire car and possibly a new camcorder so we wont be able to hear if they cancels today's take off.

If anyone can keep an eye on the info and let us know

Can you text me/us if its canceled please

That's all well and good, but did you get my message about Dynasty Warriors? I dunno what you want me to do about it. All I need is an answer!

I will keep an eye on the shuttly thing for you.

EDIT: Didn't mean the post to sound snarky (snarky?).

EDIT EDIT: "The countdown has entered a two-hour, thirty-minute planned hold at T-3 hours. Launch is scheduled for a 6:51 p.m. EDT, with weather being the only concern."

Looking good for today

Already updated Rasher that the T-3 Hrs has started.

Still scheduled for 6:51PM launch afaik, got the NASA TV on at work and monitoring the situation.

Oh and for those also watching, I've been there and driven down the road they are taking now

Update:

Launch was scrubbed due to adverse weather conditions. Rescheduled for Wed at 6:30pm (ish, can't remember the exact time).

Rasher has already said he's going back up on Wed to try again.

The Space Shuttle was the first operational orbiting spacecraft to be reusable. Each Space Shuttle was designed for 100 launches or ten years of operation, although it was later extended.
