Shuttled launch aborted
 
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.

What are some of the better places to watch from?
 
Or just look East?

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.

Go to http://www.space.com/missionlaunches...xt_launch.html for news and countdown.

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!!!!
