Quotenathan.moeller - 27/8/2006 7:08 PM Shouldabeenlaunchday lmao! Hopefully Gerst will give us some good news! But hey...prepare for the worst and hope for the best right?!
I agree with ya there. We will probably have a much better idea where they want to go with things, but probably no definates.
Glad you all like the "Don't"
Isn't it "D'oh"?

I think we just coined a new trademark phrase for NASA Spaceflight! If we come out of this thread with bad news about Atlantis at least we get a nice catch phrase! DON'T!!:)
So what exactly is this briefing about then if it's not about the systems and weather? -

Good shot of Ernesto. Looks like a small one but he said it's building.

Sounding better and better, fingers and toes crossed for a 7am decision to launch

Ok, so we'll know tomorrow morning.
It's going to need the storm to head west or slow right down, otherwise I can't see any other option but rollback. -

Decision on rollback preps pushed back to 7 am EDT tommorow.

It's definitely gonna suck if they miss this window. Three days months down the road sounds rough.

Get ready to wake up and be disappointed. Or heart broken depending on how much you're looking forward to seeing Brent Jett and Co. lift off.

So, the press briefing about the decision is coming at 10 am EDT?
-
#275 by astrobrian on 28 Aug, 2006 00:42

Significant change in storm needed to prevent rollback

Still potential for more right turn curvature of the track!!! {crossing fingers, toes and eyes}
BUT!!! How much does that impact SRB retrieval? -
#277 by Chris Bergin on 28 Aug, 2006 00:42

Well, Mike made that pretty clear. There has to be a significant change in the hurricane's path to avoid rollback.

10 AM if the shuttle can fly on Tuesday, 7 AM if rollback will be called.
