Where are they inserting those 30 minutes? At T-11 Hours? T-6 Hours? I'm asking because the CDC usually starts at the top of the hour, and if you take 30 mins out, then T-43 Hours (and all the other BIHs until T-11) would be at the bottom of the hour....
GLS is go for main engine start!

Start the count 30 minutes later.

Not according to Bill Harwood. The CDC still starts at the top of the hour. Looks like those 30 minutes went to the BIH T-11 Hours...

S0007 Call to Stations is currently planned for Saturday Oct 20 at 1:30 PM with the clock starting at 2:00 pm at the T-43 hour mark.  The T-3 hour hold has been changed to 2 hours 30 minutes in duration to accommodate the new fueling philosophy.  

There is a 4 hour hold at T-27 hours and another at T-19 and a 13 hour 13 min hold at T-11.  At T-6 there will be a 2 hour hold.  T-20 minutes and T-9 will be standard.
