Yes. Tuesday and Wednesday looks best from a weather standpoint.

From a weather standpoint, for those of us who aren't Rob, I think patience is the word.  The Q&A between Bill Harwood and Kathy Winters at the end of the briefing was instructive to me.

This launch will be the first one covered by NASA in HD.  I started a thread last night in this STS-120 area about it, but it got modded over to a "NASA TV" thread where most of you guys will probably miss it.  So I'm just posting here once to let you know about the info over there:

Rob's been a little tied up with surveying the Tornado damage in the local area up here.  His coverage on the local news was great during the storms.

There's no NASA TV coverage of that. You must think of start of the countdown coverage that they did  for STS-114, STS-121 and STS-116.
