IIRC this is the last night launch. Where are you guys going to watch from?

I give up. It was always 9:20pm EDT. Epic Donger Fail. I was taking the Eastern time and converting it to Mountain time.

Bump for the afternoon crowd.

It should be visible (weather permitting) all along the Eastern seaboard.

Launch Scrubbed for Wednesday
Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:48:47 PM MDT

The STS-119 launch was scrubbed at 2:37 p.m. EDT due to a hydrogen leak in a Liquid Hydrogen vent line between the shuttle and the external tank. The launch team is currently beginning the process of draining the external fuel tank. We'll turn around for launch attempt tomorrow at 8:54 p.m. EDT.

What does the Chiefs post season and waiting for NASA to launch a spaceship have in common?

Months of boredom followed by a few minutes of sheer terror?

The last really important one happened when Nixon was a first-termer?

I'll go to RT 528 and watch it from across the river. My error from yesterday, there's 10 shuttle launches left till fall of 2010.

I wasn't aware they were making changes. It's about time.

This.

Sadly, the mismanagement of the Chiefs and the mismanagement of NASA over the past few decades is on par. At least the Chiefs didn't actually get their players killed.

I might say there were a few cases where that might have been an upgrade, but that would be tasteless.

I can think of worse things than McCleon and Sims dieing in an a fiery explosion.
