• Is weekend work part of the normal schedule, or can they add weekend work on the pad to keep the May 14 date?

• Well, there is no special weather thread connected with STS-132, so I'm gonna ask, as I live far far away from USA, what is the prediction of weather condition for tomorrow (night)?

  Weather will be just as nice tonight as it is now... The delay was not due to weather conditions or forecast conditions, but the wet crawlerway. So no concerns (from the sky at least ) for tonight.
