The clock is up and running for the July 11 7:39PM launch and a test fueling of the external tank revealed no external hydrogen leak verifying that repairs were successfull.
From NASA "possible thunderstorms Saturday evening give the shuttle a 40% chance of launching".
Delayed again due to lightning strikes on the Launch pad Friday afternoon. As of this writing they are hoping for only
a 24 hour delay and will try again Sunday night. They are evaluating any damage done by the lightning strikes.
Stay tuned.
The Wx channel said they were going to try tonight.(Sat) Has that changed ?

WOW - NO GO again. Weather, lightning and cumulus clouds by the Shuttle Landing Facilty violates rules for launching.
They will try again Monday at 6:51PM.
Lightning actually hit one of the launch pads.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Just IN - SCRUBBED AGAIN. Lightning in the area. Set for 6:25 tomorrow.

No go tomorrow. Next shot is 6:03pm Wednesday. If it's scrubbed again they'll have to wait until the end of the month.

FINALLY!!! :lol:
Got home and it was already in space. CNN was replaying some shots of possible "debris" coming off the
bottom of the aircraft but no one was ready to ID it yet.
