This hold will last for 4 hours during which the Blast Danger Area(BDA) will be cleared, the Power Reactant Distribution and Storage(PRSD) system will be prepared for the loading of the cryogenic reactants and the PRSD loading tankers will be placed and connected to the RSS OMBUU lines. Also during this hold, the SRB and Orbiter Pyrotechnic Initiator(PIC) controllers will be tested and checked out.

You guys can probably answer this here instead of at the press conference however... there's an NSF post that the Delta IV GOES-O launch is no longer a range conflict. What will that do for 125's launch opportunities? What's the window? Is there still a planned 3 day attempt before recycle?

The range is still unavailable May 14-19, unrelated to GOES-O. It will be three attempts and then stand down until May 22.

The range conflict question was asked, it was clarified again that it is not the GOES satellite but another customer -- that was all Jeff would say.

Wondering if I should sleep on my balcony from the 14-19 in case something launches? ;-P
Thanks for asking!
