Hey Mr Yamaslut (hehehe, nice handle) this is the wife of cattledog and just had to tell you love your avatar pic.... funny we just finished watching the classic....lol. When my husband told me about the launch. The shuttle has added to the excitement as has may husbands constant banter of the free ride!!! How many more sleeps??? hehehe, look forward to meeting you all!
 
If you guys don't do absolutely everything in your power to get down and watch the night launch, then you might as well give up on life. It's probably the coolest thing you will EVER see aside from childbirth and all that emotional crap.

Damnit, I want to see the launch but just will not be able to make it there until Thursday night.:banghead: I saw one of the Apollo launches in the early 70s when I was a kid. I will never forget, it was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen.

Maybe parrdaddy can pull some strings and have the shuttle launch right as the Daytona raffle is winding down.
Wouldn't that be cool.

If that's asking too much than just delay it 24 hours, tell the heads at NASA that all the freeriders demand it.

another perspective:

Looks like the launch will be delayed.

Dec. 27

The Space Shuttle Program met Thursday to assess the progress made to troubleshoot an issue with the engine cutoff sensor circuit that occurred during the recent launch attempts and tanking test. Instrumentation installed for the tanking test indicate that there are one or more intermittent open circuits in the area of the feed through connector on the external tank’s liquid hydrogen tank.

The external parts of the connector will be removed and replaced with others that have been strategically soldered to ensure pin-to-socket connectivity and allow continuous electrical flow from sensors inside the external tank to the shuttle's computers.

This work will take some time to properly accomplish and to certify the redesigned configuration before flight. While a launch on Jan. 10 is no longer achievable, no launch date has been discussed. The program will take time to assess progress of the work before setting a target launch date.
