• Gosh I hate missing this launch!  I'll be down there from the 18th-3rd, so here's hoping that it launches on time, but re-enters a day or two late so I can go hear the Booms!

• That's not too unlikely.

  I'm proud of ESA's work and I am happy to finally see it to go to the ISS!

• I remember Dec 6, 1972 and how excited this 8th grader was about the launch of Apollo 17. It sure was stunning when the countdown stopped at T-30 seconds. That was a first for Apollo. The counts had been so smooth up to that time. In any case I was relieved and thrilled when they lifted off early on the morning of Dec 7. Glad I could stay awake that long!
  
  In yet another reminder of how old I am getting, I think this is the first shuttle mission where every American on board is younger than I am. Six of the seven crew members were born after I was. Time marches on.

• Safety first, but bummer -- I'm getting a 70degree inclination pass of ISS tonight 90 minutes after the shuttle's scheduled launch... was looking forward to seeing it chase.

• In a way, this is a blessing for me.  I'm now able to see the launch, and help cover it, should it launch on Saturday or Sunday.
  
  Safety first, as said though.  Here's to a great Saturday launch!!

  Same here.  I was in the middle of a final exam during launch time on Thursday (I'm pretty sure I passed it ).  Let's hope for four working ECOs tomorrow!  Go Atlantis!

  Heh.. I'm hoping the same... because I have lots of exams during the next two weeks, and a launch would really help my motivation..

• Might be another long meeting today. We might not even hear anything until about the middle of the evening. I think they will decide to tank tomorrow and hope for the best with the ECOs.
• #55 by Andrewwski on 08 Dec, 2007 17:25
• Well, good luck again!
  
  Please, ECO's, work!
• #56 by sam2007 on 08 Dec, 2007 17:27
• Please, please, I want a launch tomorrow, too.

• I realize this is the cheerleading thread and we don't yet have a 'grumble at the media' thread for this mission.... but I'm getting a little peeved at local (south Florida) TV stations blaming the delays on "fuel gauge problems" and presenting it as if to say 'Ford, GM and Toyota make fuel gauges work all the time but NASA can't.'
  I'm all for simple explanations for the benefit of the general public-- but they're certainly using the wrong words and analogy in this case!
