Yes that is basically correct, they can slip the PRSD load (power reactant and storage distribution system) for the fuel cells a few hours and still stay on schedule (that is why there are plenty of holds in the countdown, to catch up on work performed or running late). Tomorrow (Thursday) there is a large hold of 13 hours, 42 minutes in the countdown at T-11 hour mark starting at 1 PM EDT, this will allow the launch team to catch up with any late work or problems that pop up after the PRSD load finishes early Thursday morning (around 2 - 3 AM EDT).

Yes squire. I'd let you know if it wasn't
They cancelled a planned changeout, but I'm waiting for the mornings integration report before doing an article...most of which will be from the late night MMT presentation, which is blooming marvelous. (all on L2).

I should add, that cancellation is due to them currently being behind by 6-7 hours.

You mean they cancelled a planned changeout of a component on the shuttle?
