It seems that the "Hi, <user name>" on the right, is getting out on the left of the grey block behind it, where I guess it should be centered.
Otherwise great job guys.  ;) Hope this will be more and more !!
Look, there's a telescope out there !

Nice to have a countdown on your homepage.

What time is it?
T- time is not defined before T-43 hours
(that is approximately 2 days 20 hours before launch)
see: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/countdown101.html
But even if it were defined, the official launch time (7:17 EDT at the moment) and "your" time would implicate holdings of 12 hours.
The above cited NASA countdown 101 cumulates the holds to approximately 25 hours.
Or do you have informations, that the holdings for STS-127 are shorter?

The Countdown clock on the first page is off by 12 hours (and about 11 seconds, to be precise), according to the STS-127 clock on NASA's website, which can be found here: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html

OK, I was curious, because now your clock is in sync with my own excel countdown clock. BTW, Marv the reason for excel macro not running on your side might be your macro security settings. If on high, it would probably block macros without telling you.

The difference between your and the NASA clock is because you probably use the actual time of your servers clock or an internet time signal.
NASA uses the clock of the user computer and here at work my computer is at least 5 minutes late.
So whoever sees a difference between NASA and SSM-Fans might check his clock first.

To answer my own question: What time is it? Its the L- time. Time till launch including every hold.

By the way, did anybody else tried my excel macro countdown clock?
