Weird, because that was the day and time a couple of days ago, and I changed it in my schedule to what was posted here after I saw the HD-Net timer appear.

I hope all goes well with the tank seals this time and there aren't any big delays...and hopefully no weather delays.

Night launches are nice, but I prefer the daytime launches...then their spacewalk schedule isn't during our sleep time...
 
Should be a spectacular night-time launch tonight on HDNet!

So far no issues, except for a boat or something spotted within few miles.
 
The weather doesn't look too good though...
 
Officially scrubbed for today... They will try again tomorrow.
 
Yep - testing was completed this evening, valve was successfully cycled open/closed 5 times and indications point to it being a telemetry problem. Mission Management Team meets at 1 PM EDT tomorrow to go over the test results - assuming they find it acceptable, we'll have a launch early Friday morning (or late Thursday night, depending on where you are).
 
It's now scheduled for 11:59 PM EDT on Friday. Still Friday though. ;)
