That's EST but there's something about a front moving through and cloud cover.

Gamer930 · #10 07-12-2006, 21:38

They aren't launching tonight because of thick cloud ceiling. . . Unsure when next attempt is going to be

I'm sad. I actually got to pull it up, just to hear, "its scrubbed". But, there will be a next time.

Yup, it's one of those disappointment moments, but at the same time knowing the correct decision was made. I always feel badly for the NASA folks, even though they are trained for this.

Rescheduled to:

Saturday 1547 ZULU

Friday is a 90% no-go due to cross-winds and showers

Over and Out.
