Where do they get these random times from? What makes them choose a time like 2:38 over 2:30, 2:45, etc?

So Bimmer do you sit at NASA waiting to find out if they will launch or not?

I hope they call it off for now. While it would be really cool to be able to lift off on July 4th, I don't think I'd want to risk my life to do so.

Way, way south.

They are not sure now if it will launch tomorrow.
There is a four or five inch crack in the foam covering in a seemingly crucial location on the shuttle.
Just heard it on the news.
Oops, missed the above post.

That stinks, I was looking forward to it. Better safe than sorry, though.

NASA has determined that the loss of this small chunk of foam (about 3 inches) will not be detrimental to the launch. They are going to continue to attempt to launch tomorrow.
They are still looking into the whole situation and will hold another press conference at about 6:30.

Well, they made it! I wonder if they could see all the fourth of July fireworks from up there?

Did everyone see the launch yesterday? If anyone is interested, I did video the launch and you can see it Here! As you can tell by the video, it is a bit difficult to hold the camera steady when the ground is shaking so much. Enjoy!
