Discovery Postponement

Launch Postponement Press Meeting is scheduled for 4:30. Since they only had a 5 minute window today, a delay means that it will be severel more days before another launch attempt can be done. I have to admit I am feelina little bummed about this whole thing. I will hang around for a few minutes to see if this means EST, but I have to be at the MoS by 5:30 so I won't be able to hang around too long.

EDIT: Basicaly this was a safety call as the redundant systems were not in agreement. Pinpoiinting the exact cause is still underway. Launch is now scheduled for 2:41 EST on July 16th.

Thats ok I think it was just a matter that we didn't have a chance to confirm. Reschedule?
