Live shuttle launch due today on NASA TV

[MikeyB]

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 (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/)

Main shuttle webpage and countdown clock (http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html)
