Discovery Launch

The space shuttle Discovery is planning to lift off at 3:49 pm today. Here's NASA's coverage, which includes the countdown to launch. Here's the official countdown clock, which has less time on it because they have scheduled holds which pause the clock at predetermined points (currently stopped at T-3 hours). And here's the local weather. There is a risk of severe weather this afternoon, which could result in delaying the launch to another day.

Here's hoping for a successful and uneventful launch. Good luck, Discovery!

Update: Launch rescheduled for Sunday, July 2 at 3:26 pm due to weather conditions.
