We are scheduled for a 7:39 PM EDT launch on July 11th, 2009. 
:'( It'll be 1:39 AM down here. Too late (or too early) to watch
Look, there's a telescope out there !

Well its my mums birthday on the 11th, and I wont be around to watch the shuttle launch stream. Will be keeping my eyes and ears out for any info I can get from the radio. Here's hoping for a successful launch after the delay.

News conference in progress:

Moses is talking about the lightnin monitoring systems, apparently there were 11 strikes very close( within 3 NM) to the pad, magnitude has been above the limit threshold, tanking never started to tank. Yesterday's storm was declared an official lightning event.

Shuttle and SRBs need further evaluation, no damage done, but  it needs evaluation.


Basically they need a little more time to do so, but weather looks better for tomorrow anyway.

within 3 NM to the pad

Mose spoke about 0.3 NM that is only 550 meters.

Via Nasaspaceflight.com forum:
STS-127 launch still has not been cleared for launch by the lightning strike analysis results.

I encourage everyone to watch the MMT press Breifing at 9am EST this morning. We should have an answer by then.
