From the NASA website

Shuttle Managers Target Discovery's Liftoff for Friday Night
Thu, 27 Aug 2009 01:27:56 PM EDT

The Mission Management Team has concluded with the decision to target launch
for Friday, Aug. 28 at 11:59 p.m. EDT instead of 12:22 a.m. Friday morning.

The additional time will allow teams to plan in case they see the same
reading that happened with the liquid hydrogen fill and drain valve that
caused Tuesday afternoon's launch scrub during tanking.

The MMT will meet again on Friday at noon.

A news conference will be held on NASA TV later this afternoon to discuss
the decision.

Too cloudy here. Clouds are low so I probably won't see anything even if I felt like going down to the river this time of night......NOT!!

I should have a pretty good shot at it. If I don't screw it up. Nice and clear from here to the cape.

Unbelievable!!!!

Watched it in the yard until it went over the horizon. Truly spectacular even from the other side of the state.
OK Now I need a telescope I can attach my camera to. Still shots from 200+ miles away just don't do justice.
