I have tickets to the Eagles/Giants game tomorrow afternoon. This will be the first launch I have missed in a long time. Makes me wish there was a mobile version of this site available. GO ATLANTIS!!!!

NET January 2, 2008. Hopefully, we'll have something alongside a ball drop to kick off the new year!

Even if we're a bit disappointed in not getting 4 shuttles launched this year, 2007 is the first year since 1995 in which all available orbiters in the fleet have flown.

Wow! Didn't know that. Let's look forward to a jam-packed 2008 with 6 flights!

Spaceflightnow.com says a Jan 2 launch window would open at 5:45 AM. Interesting. I think it would be dark at that time. If liftoff is delayed a little beyond Jan 2 it would remain a night launch. We haven't had a shuttle launch in darkness since 116 a year ago. I have been eager to see another one at night so perhaps I should look into making the trip now.
Traveling on New Year's Day is probably not an option for me though. But if it gets pushed back to Jan 6 or so it might work out. There aren't that many more opportunities for night launches for the duration of the program.

awwww...... well, glad they didn't give in to go-fever... here's hoping they can get it off sometime before 9am on the 3rd
(I fly back to Seattle around noon from Tampa... so I think 9am is prolly even cutting it close, but I'd rather miss a flight than miss a Shuttle Launch!)

Really! I'm "jonesing" for a night launch.

My kids and I have reservations in Cocoa Beach from 31st through the 3rd so keeping my fingers crossed! Could probably extend a day or two if shuttle gets delayed.. the ONLY good part about driving down is flexibility.

What is the launch time for Jan. 10 launch (approximately)?
I need to know when to get up in the morning to watch it (UK) because I've heard it's a night launch...
Thanks!

Sleep in. Doubt it they'll be able to aim for Jan 10.

Thanks for the reply. Hope this flight won't slip too much into STS-123's schedule...

C'mon 122! please schedule launch on a weekend. Feburary 2 is sound promising. Instead of 8th...how about 9th or 16th!

I would prefer the 2nd myself. I expect to be at a conference in DC the weekend of 2/7-10. I don't want this to conflict with my following the mission.
Though if the flight occurs during my conference it will bring back some bad memories. I was at this conference on 2/1/03 when Columbia didn't make it home. That was so difficult watching Fox and CNN in my hotel room that tragic morning. But I will remain positive and optimistic. 122/Atlantis will have a safe and successful mission!
