Whilst this may not be the best place to ask (mods please move if so), I've just noticed that the orbital.com webpage doesn't appear to work with firefox. I just get a blank page, both on my laptop at home and my desktop at work. It works fine with IE.
Anyone else experienced this problem?

Any meteorologist out there? Trying to figure out whether I should leave now to try to watch the launch (its a two hour drive through a toll road)

T-4 hours and counting. Weather still an issue. Looking for rain at the beginning of the window.
Wish me luck, I am off!

I wonder how far they will go with the count, with only a 15 percent chance of acceptable weather?

About an hour ago there was a report that they were having difficulty getting one of the range aircraft airborne. There has been no further word on this, I would expect them to call a scrub in the next 15 minutes if this is not resolved.

Horrible weather.
Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow.
Is it the same window?

From NASA:
We have canceled tonight's launch attempt of the Minotaur 1 rocket because of poor weather conditions. A decision on the next launch attempt will be made later tonight.

Wallops weather shows a better chance at launching on Friday, possibly Thursday.
