Looking for shuttle launch tonight


We hope to see the space shuttle Discovery take off from launch pad 39B this evening at 8:47. However, a lingering cold front has the winds here in Melbourne, Florida kicking up a bit. The temperature outside has warmed up quite a bit, but it is the wind that may play a factor in yet another delay in the launch.

Thursday, the thick low cloud ceiling caused a delay in the Discovery launch. We will have to see if this wind dies down and hope for a night launch tonight.
