So many delays...
they have until midnight to try... after that, scrub na. The reason why the launch window is big (i.e. 4 hours) is because this is a sub orbital flight, and there's no target in orbit to delimit the schedule/launch window.
In the meantime, enjoy this cool image!
Shuttle Atlantis in the foreground at Pad 39A, getting ready for it's launch on Nov. 16, and in the background, is the ARES 1-X at the newly reconfigured Pad 39B.

Been waiting for this moment. This is an important milestone for NASA replacing their shuttle missions... it's more cost effective and has lesser risk.
I wonder why it took so long for them to change their strategy... they've waited for 2 shuttle accidents and a recession to make it happen.

I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories about that but it's not fair for those who dedicated their lives to make it happen. I've been in the cape and I've seen proofs that's pretty convincing.... Originally Posted by hobie
