Iv'e got everything crossed that it goes on the 15th March as im flying over from the U.K. to watch the launch. Flights , hotels, car hire etc is all booked around that date! A few days delay is palatable but anything more than that and im scuppered.
How common is a looong delay as opposed to a delay of days?
Don't worry, this won't be a major delay. NET 15th is still green.
Rollout looks fine for Thursday, according to some guys who were coming out of the VAB.

Thanks that takes a load of my mind, still gonna keep eveything crossed though!!
Fear not Alan. Anything happens, you'll get to know here first.
This is a relief. I was hoping there would be no major delays, and there are none. A one day delay is not that bad, and I hope there are no more problems. I will not get to see this launch up close but hopefully I can convince my dad to take me to KSC this summer for STS-118. I am determined to see a shuttle launch before the program ends, so I will drive down there myself if I have to.
Same as yesterday. Waiting for the confirmation of rollout for tomorrow. Will update here as soon as we know.
Funny thing is, they could have had a couple of days delay getting out of the OPF, but didn't, so a day longer in the VAB is nothing to worry about
Replacing a SRB Sensor in the VAB? If so, how long would it take?

The OPT (Operational Pressure Transducer) doesn't have a timeline for R&R yet, but they have to be sure it's that.
USA workers love pick up trucks
Still looking like a 7am rollout tomorrow, but it's not official yet (which we kinda need).
