It looks like if they go to 9:44, the original 30 minute weather window will be closed. meaning, probable further delays

Cosimo · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:29

They are assessing the clouds again.

Cosimo · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:33

90 minute delay, there is a ship in the range area.

Malt_Vinegar · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:35

Great. so much for that. Was the ship supposed to be there?!

Berserker · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:35

Yup. Stupid ship - get out of the ****ing way. :mad:

Now we just need the weather to close in again.

mollymoo · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:35

jeez nasa are rubbish

Andelusion · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:35

LOL fail.

Messiah Khan · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:36

90 minutes! Surely they knew this before now. Just ignore the ship!

Cosimo · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:37

Tell the crew to go below deck and light the touch paper.

growse · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:37

It's not like the ship leapt out from behind a tree and said 'surprise!!!!'.

Honestly. Epic Fail.

Sorry for the stupid question, but why would a cargo ship be dangerous to the launch?

Cosimo · 27 Oct 2009 at 13:38

New time, 13:54 if the ship gets out of the way.

Because it is steaming through the area bits will fall into

If it's that slow going to take 90mins for it to exit the range, surely there was some warning of it's proximity to it beforehand!
