Exclamation Live shuttle launch due today on NASA TV

The last scheduled night (pre-dawn) shuttle launch should be happening in about 3.5 hours, however changing weather conditions in Florida give only a 60% likelihood of an on-time launch.

Watch it live at: NASA TV

Main shuttle webpage and countdown clock

Thanks for the links Mikey and Humayun.
It was exciting even though they didn't go.
I hope it goes Tuesday and not tomorrow night, because I won't be home.
