Tomorrow's launch is still scheduled for 1345 Central. 30% chance for GO due to weather. If it slips to Friday, that percentage is dropping due to the slow speed of the front. It was 80% chance to go this morning, but it's down to 70% chance to go this afternoon.

The window moves about 22-23 minutes on a day-to-day shift. For example - if it's supposed to launch on day 1 at 1 pm and it slips, day 2 it'll launch at 12.38 pm. It's due to trajectory calculations. I'm intimately familiar with these things but don't know really how to talk to you about it.

If it don't take off on Friday, then we refuel and try again Monday. That's easy enough to say...

Thanks, Tom, I was wondering about the weather and whether the weather could wither the wonder.

This Is Ground Control To Major Tom!!

Now this is real trivia...

Astronaut Dan Tani's email box has over 80 megabytes of stuff. NASA limit is 30 megabytes, but we cut astronauts who are living on the space station some slack. We told him this morning to delete some of his emails. After the space walk today...

Tom! I really like this NASA thread!! Keep up the good work!

How was the SpaceWalk, btw?

Tom,

I would also like to thank you for the NASA thread. It's great that you're keeping us informed and full of all sorts of trivial information!!

No, really, in all seriousness, I do appreciate the information you post on here!!

Thanks!!
