Thanks for the links, mibn. I've just had a look at the pictures from the launch site, and, if I've done my sums correctly, launch is scheduled for 14.39, UK time.

8:26 EST? eh

[Dizmo]

Bookbinder: the launch is at 13:26 not 14:39

[237SJ]

Eastern Standard Time ( GMT - 5)

[Dizmo]

237SJ: Yeah I was aware, I didn't mean to stick the '?' on there. I was just confused as bookbinder said 14:**

[bookbinder]

It looks as if the launch will be in about 2 minutes from now.

[Dizmo]

They've just aborted it :/ for a fuel issue. For ("£* sake.

[Dizmo]

Stupid *** fuel/drain valves. Damn, I was on the edge then.

[bookbinder]

There seems to be a lot of waiting around during one of these rocket launches. 13.26 has come and gone, and the rocket is still on the ground.

[Dizmo]

BB: This is what happens when you have something so complex. At least the problems are occurring before launch and not after :)

[Dizmo]

She isn't getting launched today :(

[Old_Geezer]

No, someone didn't fill up at Tesco.

[mibn2cweus]

No refunds available however tickets will be honoured for those who care to watch a retry same time tomorrow.

Post scrub news conference on nasatv scheduled for 5pmUT.

[Dizmo]

How many of you watched the launch? right on time, right on time :)

[mibn2cweus]

[Old_Geezer]

No. Difficult at work.
Did read it had gone off though.

[Dizmo]

Perfect launch in my opinion.
