    Looks like they are go for launch for now for the STS-128 mission to go to the International Space Station. Space shuttle Discovery is set to launch in a little over 8:00 hours from now. It will be a night launch and is expected to be the last or one of the last launches at night.

    Local time of launch is early Tue morning at 1:36 A.M. in Florida or late today at 11:36 P.M. in California. The night launch's are always the best to watch. Here is the countdown clock

    NASA is targeting space shuttle Discovery for a launch attempt Friday morning at 12:22 a.m., mission management team Chairman Mike Moses said. Engineers will evaluate a liquid hydrogen valve that developed problems during tanking operations Tuesday evening. Detailed test data about the valve will be examined before Discovery’s fuel tank is loaded with propellant ahead of Friday morning’s launch attempt.

    Yeah I saw the scrub message come up on the NASA channel and the news press conference on it. But safety is the number one concern, but I was still disappointed about it.:( I'm glad they chose another night launch though.

    Thanks for letting me know the new launch date and time, I'll be watching it!

    Looks like they are trying for another night launch of Discovery mission STS-128. I'm watching them strap them in on the NASA channel and I hope the 3rd time is the charm for a go on launch and not another scrub because of weather or problems with the spacecraft.

    They are set to launch at 11:59 p.m. EDT or 8:59 p.m. CA time. Here is the link if anyone wants to watch it live.
