Wednesday evening's shuttle launch has been put on a 24 hr hold due to a hydrogen gas leak. Expect it will be a similar time tomorrow.
For newbies or anyone else who's never bothered, find a "high" clear spot in TV and watch this. It's amazing, especially at night.

The seven-astronaut crew of NASA's STS-119 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is now scheduled to launch no earlier than March 15, 2009 at 7:43 p.m. EDT (2343 GMT) after a gas leak prevented a planned Wednsday night launch.

Hope they will postpone the launch one more day. We are arriving in TV on the 16th.
Would love to see it.
Keep me posted Z.

I agree for those that have never seen, it is a MUST!!!
I have the honor of actually seeing two shuttles liftoff right at KSC, and it is totally awesome!!!! The sound, the colors, the pride of the USA!!!!
