  MMT delayed. There's a huge effort going on with this. Still 50/50 on flying tomorrow.
  
  Incidently, there's bigger news brewing...so it's going to be a long night folks!

  
  Now you've really got us curious, Chris.

• Do tell Chris! You can't leave us hanging like that!
  
  Now where'd I put my credit card for L2...

  Uh-oh.  This doesn't sound good...

  I'm sure he'd tell you what he knew..  I'm not sure if he has more information than that...  but if he had things he could release, he would have.
  
  This doesn't rule out anything for tomorrow (as of this post), just means they will have a very long day today if they are working towards a launch tomorrow.  Feel free to correct me, if something is wrong, but I'm just going off of what I see.

  L2's great but we'll be running this as a news article, so you'll only need to wait until about 5pm Eastern. I'm unable to say anymore (even on L2, by the way) until then, as I don't have all the info yet. When I do, it's straight to article. It will be 'good' news.
  
  Back to the ECOs....

• Chris, you just guaranteed that start about 4:50 EST, your servers are going to see a load that exceeds that of launch day!

• Chris you tease, you are certainly a good showman.
  
  I look forward to the article.
  
  Any hints? Is it STS related?
  
  Edit: I was going to post a guess but I think its better to just wait and not stoke the flames.

  Some idea when the briefing will take time?

• Article, quote heavy from L2 (you don't need to hear from me, going on about how ECOs work, so just threw in quotes....)

  Will be updated as we go through the MMT. Likely to be several hours long.

  Definitely not going to be a 5-minute we-all-agree-lets-fly kind of meeting.

• JSC Engineering would dissent their own existance if you asked them.

  Don't forget..JSC Engineering was against Endeavor coming back with that "Huge" gouge in her belly. LOL.

  Both funny and disturbing.

• Nobody ever said they're not listening to them.
• #296 by dember on 07 Dec, 2007 19:59
• Are they for or against?
• #297 by zentripcity on 07 Dec, 2007 20:01
• JSC and ET eng are speaking against at this moment , assumption is they want more time to analyze before taking any risks
• #298 by dember on 07 Dec, 2007 20:07
• If they scrub tomorrow is there a good chance that there will be a rollback?

  Depends on what caused the scrub (besides the ECO problem).  And Atlantis still has 6 more days to get off the ground (assuming ULA will be flexible with the Atlas V launch).
