tonight (click image for high-res version from NASA.) I'll add a few comments when launch time arrives for STS-119 around 6 pm. Note: NASA-TV coverage begins at 1 pm PDT.UPDATE: The launch is scrubbed due to a hydrogen leak. Shuttle managers will attempt a launch tomorrow evening.
LATEST: NASA won't attempt a launch before Sunday:
"Space shuttle Discovery’s launch to the International Space Station now is targeted for no earlier than March 15. NASA managers postponed Wednesday’s planned liftoff due to a leak associated with the gaseous hydrogen venting system outside the external fuel tank. The system is used to carry excess hydrogen safely away from the launch pad."Boy, this sure has been a troubled mission.
