thanks, so is the launch back on?

Pez · 2 Jul 2006 at 16:52

Prep is still going ahead, but, at the moment we are still NO-GO for launch.

pinkacidbootson · 2 Jul 2006 at 16:58

The commentary guy sounds optimistic.

Flibster · 2 Jul 2006 at 16:59

Still NO-GO due to weather.

However as it takes them several hours to prepare everythign they'll probably get to T-minus 9 minutes and scrub it after the hold.

They've only got a launch window of 5 mins though so have to be pretty sure they'll be able to lauch before confirming they are GO

What was that about pictures being worth 1,000 words?

Flibster · 2 Jul 2006 at 17:57

Still hasn't changed...

Berserker · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:06

Standing by for an announcement. That probably means they're going to scrub early today.

That image has been through so many filters and godknows what, I had trouble making it readable at all.

Messiah Khan · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:15

The launch has been terminated today.

Berserker · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:15

Scrub confirmed.

Next attempt on Tuesday. Launch time around 19:38 BST

Are for me on the stream as well - could be a dodgy digital camera with the blue sensors dead?

Scrubbed for the day because of weather, delay for 48 hours.

Berserker · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:18

Well, at least they did it early today rather than keeping us all on the edge of our seats until the last minute. I'd imagine the astronauts will appreciate that too as barely being able to move in those seats can't be that comfortable.

Oh yes, and it'll be 4th July when they try again. Let the conspiracy theories commence.

Flibster · 2 Jul 2006 at 18:22

Arse.

Oh well - Tuesday hopefully will be a nice day for it.

Domo · 2 Jul 2006 at 19:28

D'oh! Just legged it up the stairs in a mad panic having just remembered the 19:26 scheduled launch time and it's a no-fly.

See y'all Tuesday then
