A local newspaper in Shandong reports a 09:37 UTC launch time on Tuesday.

ah 3:37 am Mountain Tuesday morning. Too bad it's a work night. I'll see if I can drag my carcass out of bed and log on to NSF.com.

The Chinese media has been especially quiet on this mission even with less than 48 hours left...

More precise launch time: 09:37:59 UTC

And if the same news report is to be trusted, then I have some pretty bad news for those tracking the mission: thanks to this mission being, um, rather boring to the public, coverage on this mission has been cut drastically. It claims that live coverage of the launch won't start until T-5 minutes (!?) and they aren't even bothering to show the docking live!
