Coming up any moment.

Scolese, Hale, Gerst, Coats at the presser.

Chief Engineer - who is related to NESC - dissented launch.

Is this going to be on the media channel only, or public channel also?

Good question. Everyone keep your eyes peeled. Apparently there's only Bill Harwood and Todd from Florida Today there! At least the questions will be good as a result.

Probably because they are...

Just to note it, it's on both public and media channels. I had a lipsync problem on the media channel, which went away when I switched to the public channel (Windows Media feeds).

There's a few more journalist there I see. They've pulled Ralph Roe out there! :cool:

I dunno -- there are often NASA staff in the seats, and more seats available especially as media interest wanes.

Hale now talking about the RCC issue...I think he said that NESC came forward in May...

psloss · « **Reply #35 on:** 10/17/2007 12:57 am »

Ralph Roe noting what Wayne Hale mentioned earlier, that they discussed the RCC issue for at least four hours last week and today...

Now posted on the NASA.gov STS-120 page:

Discovery is "go" for launch on Oct. 23, with a liftoff time of 11:38 a.m. EDT.

They may be tired, but they're all hanging in there -- the questions and answers aren't short.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #38 on:** 10/17/2007 01:19 am »

The other issue...

..maybe the Advanced Master Events Controller? Guessing from the presentations we have on L2.

psloss · « **Reply #39 on:** 10/17/2007 01:24 am »

These are all long answers, but the 30,000 foot descriptions are helpful. Now throwing the questions to JSC.
