I would stay for it if it meant an extra day. But I wouldn't book anything yet because it could slip more.

I've seen launches of a Delta 2 and of a Shuttle in person. Could anyone whose seen either of these and a Delta IV Heavy tell me how they compare? Although the Heavy is not as powerful as the Shuttle, I would think its lack of solids might make for a slower and therefore more impressive climb.

http://msdb.gsfc.nasa.gov/launches.php now says 06 november, UTC. (which could certainly still be the night of the 5th, EST.)
i'm positively thrilled at the idea of getting to see a night launch that week, not the least of which because it probably won't conflict at all -- sleep deprivation notwithstanding -- with my post-STS-133 plans of otherwise spending that whole week at the theme parks.
...not that i don't know the meaning of "TBD", or anything, but any back-of-the-napkin guesses as to likely time of night? late evening, midnight, pre-dawn?

So is it still scheduled for the evening of the 5th, but it might take off after midnight EST, technically being Nov 6th? But it's not been moved to the evening of Nov 6th?
You are making it more complicated than it needs to be.
This is a simple timezone problem. EST is 5 hours behind GMT, EDT is 4 hours behind GMT.
If the launch is after 19:00 EST, then the launch is happening in the early AM GMT. E.g. 5 Nov 2010 19:30 EST is 6 Nov 2010 00:30 GMT.

Just to be clear, the currently planned launch has a four hour window and is as follows:
Nov 5, 8:01pm to midnight EDT (20:01 - 00:00 EDT)
which is the same as:
Nov 6, 00:01 to 04:00 UTC (or GMT if you prefer).
Note: Change from EDT to EST occurs on Nov 7 this year, so after this launch (all being well!)

Yes, and almost two weeks behind schedule for the redo. November 16 now for launch according to MSDB website.

Suck!
I had the ok from the wife to stay an extra day on my trip to see STS-133 to see this launch. would have been cool, but that's the way it goes. No chance of it going up on Nov 5th now?

On the bright side, there is now a greatly reduced likelihood of a scheduling conflict with SpaceX's COTS-1 launch.

Depends on which launch you feel is more important... Go Delta IV!

If the Demo goes when it is currently scheduled.

Nobody is sharing any info on what might be troubling the DIVH? I assume it's not a payload issue because of the repeated and belated WDR. Better safe than sorry, I suppose, especially since this is probably an outrageously expensive payload.
