Let's hope they can get Discovery off in the next 3-4 days. Yesterday's scrub was a real shame after all the hard work on the FCVs. I felt sorry for the astronauts, the launch team, and also Candrea Thomas who'd clearly had her hair done especially for the occasion!

Okay, now hoping for a birthday launch -- on March 15th.  It'll be my 40th, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than with a nice big SRB candle! (two actually)

Off the top of my head, don't think there's ever been a shuttle launch on March 15.  Go Discovery!!!!

Go Discovery!  Good to hear that tanking's gone well.

That bat that's hanging out on the ET is going to be crispy fried in 4 hours.

I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

Sorry to bump, but that time is fast approaching...


Thanks for the great views Discovery!
We were dazzled by the new ISS configuration, and some great EVAs.
I got to see my two-dot in the sky config with you leaving the ISS, and it was such a joy to see.

Fantastic job Mike on getting the DA #2 installed and the UPA working!

Glad to see you back Sandy! Hope you had a great time.

See you all soon, and have a safe and great landing tomorrow.

Godspeed to Kennedy wheel stop today. It's the start of the Cherry Blossom Festival - good luck Koichi Wakata! Welcome home Sandra Magnus. Thank you NASA, STS-119 & Expedition 18, the ISS is awesome with all its solar arrays.  :)
