Weather brief continues to be no go (no surprises there), and not getting any better.
Remember guys, read the thread before asking a questions (the Flight number for Lindsey was answered on page three of this thread).

It's called a "wave-off". Holds only occur during the countdown.

If the forecast is really bad, they might wave off both revs early, but usually they'll wave off one rev at a time.

Quick question... if we're waved off for the day, what will the shuttle's distance be from ISS tonight in terms of viewing opportunities?

You can go to any of the viewing predictors and enter the shuttle, then enter the ISS, and you'll see the difference in times.

Hope you don't mind me copying that from L2:
"The vehicle is 110+ miles from the ISS with an opening rate of 3.5 nm per revolution."

So by this time would the crew have gone through "fluid loading?" I mean with the weather outlook so bleak, I don't think it's worth the inconvenience of 7 people all trying to use the toilet at the same time when they wave off that second landing opportunity.

Fluid loading is only done at MCC's "GO". Not earlier.

1 Fluid Loading:
2
3 The following is the prescription for fluid loading on entry day:
4
5 Crewmembers will initiate fluid loading no earlier than 1.5 hours before TIG, and no later
6 than TIG. Each crewmember will consume 8 ounces of water with two salt tablets or 8
7 ounces of other approved solution every 15 minutes. Fluid loading should be completed by
8 EI.
