Love the "go, go, go...." sequence, even if it only ends up being "go" for another hold. Dramatic stuff.

How long is the launch window today?
Soldato
Its until 1444z I believe!
Waiting for an outcome of the troubleshooting. Still time for one attempt.
Soldato
I was on the causeway in Kennedy when STS-133 launched, there was a range issue then and it launched with 2 secs left in its window! Certainly had everyone holding their breath!!
Fingers crossed for Orion!!

Don't think its an official attempt yet, as they still don't have the go on the valves issue. They are just preparing everything else for a launch at 1444z to be ready if they get the go ahead.
Soldato
Nope 24hrs hold to fix valves
Scrubbed.
Back again tomorrow.
Back again tomorrow.
Same window tomorrow, 12:05 - 14:44 GMT (07:05 - 09:44 EST). Weather forecast is not as good as for today.
We have a go for today and fuelling is underway. Weather may well be a problem again today.
