Yeah, my mom was down there to watch, and we were going to watch from the roof of the condo I get to stay in for the next two weeks (:D).  It's only about 50 miles south of where I am at the moment.

I know. If I didn't know better, I'd say the thing is cursed.

why do i suddenly have the urge to rename this thread "nasa has trouble getting it up"
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

It's not so much that they have trouble, it's that they can't do it at all.

Scrubbed again.

It's not NASA's fault; it's the weather.  The only problem on the Shuttle itself was the leak, and they fixed that on July 1.

That's the problem with having your launchpad at the lightning capital of the USA. :(

They're trying again in about 30 minutes.  Looks like the weather might cooperate. :)

Thanks to Goober's update, I got to see this in all its glory on HDNet.  Took them long enough, but it was worth it.

Hah, reminds me of an advert where there was this spacecraft with an old couple in it, and it was trying to rotate upwards to the vertical, but kept falling down. I didn't know what they were trying to say until it said 'Erection problems?'. :lol:
