48 hour scrub! Maybe Friday!

Perhaps, depending on what is found during the testing that will happen in the next day and a half.

The 48 hour scrub is pretty much just a... template, I guess is the word, for the work that they need to do.  24 hour scrub wouldn't be enough time to inert the tank, so they'd need at least a 48 hour scrub.

This may  be the only time I "hope" for a scrub which might push the launch into the weekend so that we all can meet for a Sync Launch.

I know, it is VERY egoistic but I can't help it ;)

FYI, an official 24 hour hold has been called, they need more time to review the data.

Going to target the second attempt on Friday (23:59 EDT).

I wonder if weather will hold up till midnight. It couldnt even hold for a 1:36AM launch and with Danny off shore it might enhance rain chances on E.Coast so IMO it will probably be a long shot for friday and we might have to wait a month but let's hope weather can give NASA a break for once lol.

There is a 60% chance of the weather being "NO GO" for tanking.

I think that with only 3 active Shuttles remaining, NASA will scrub even if a bird drops its "load" on the launch pad at T-00:00:12!

They are approximately 10 to 15 minutes behind in the tanking schedule, weather postponed the planned 2:34 PM EDT start.  We will, however, be good to go at launch time (pending weather, etc).

Good luck, and godspeed.
