Shall we rename this mission?

STS-127

Scrub this System-127 :D

I know safety and all that, but this mission is seriously in bad luck.

My point is this. East Coast of Central Florida in summer = Thunderstorm Magnet. Late afternoon is the WORST time to try to fly.

They need to scrub until an early or mid morning launch window opens. IF they get it up on Wed, it will be a small miracle.

Not just from the Shuttle point of view, it is bad for anyone trying to move through the air.

I've just spent 7 Weeks hourbuilding in Florida, anyflying after 2PM would be great, but don't take it for granted.

True dat!

Radar looks great right now, and we are less than 2 hours from the launch window for today. Problem is they did a 48 hour scrub-turnaround. Looks like tomorrow's weather is a day early...

And these guys have PhD's!!!

The weather looked just like this yesterday! It wasn't until T-15 min till they ran into any problems. They are more likely to have good weather tomorrow than today but it doesn't mean they will. It is all unpredictable. They just have high thinking that they will have good better weather tomorrow. Plus that wasn't the only reason they did 48 hours. The crew deserved a break, and the covers on the thrusters needed to be changed and replaced. They made the right call.

I assumed that went without saying...And the sea breeze front was much closer yesterday than today, I was just pointing out that the weather was further away. Had that Tyvek cover not come loose, they might have tried it again today. I really don't think the astronauts would have minded another attempt today. I know I wouldn't!!!

Well, Columbia remains the shuttle with most launch attempts to a mission

They'll have to watch carefully for the debris strikes on the tiles. About 9 debris hit the tiles apparently, and 3 impacts were spotted before SRB SEP :
