Sounds like one of the workstations crashed? They must be running Vista... :D

Hold extended.

Holding at T-5. Apparently a minor issue (but they said that about the GN2 issue that caused the last two scrubs...)

Still in the hold.  Working a "what we think is a minor issue".

Good news is they've got a rather lengthy launch window to work with.

"They must be running Vista"....or maybe Windows Millennium??? 
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

Comms re-established in the workstation...

File loading complete, FMA is going to remain on the backup station.

Sounds like they performed the highly technical Ctrl+Alt+Delete contingency procedure.  :)

Is the "technical issue" the workstation problems that they have been discussing or a separate vehicle problem?

I believe it's a separate vehicle-related problem.  Sounds to me like they successfully switched over to a backup workstation.

I think the workstation issue has been resolved, so I'd assume the hold is for the mechanical issue that was mentioned earlier.

It wouldn't allow wind relief program to be loaded on the vehicle

OK, thanks. Well at least they've got a long window to play with...

Sounds to me we're only allowed to hear the range loop?

Missing weather balloon data, by the way...
