Another good step :
1939 GMT (2:39 p.m. EST) The Cape launch team has received the latest flight profile for loading into the rocket. Officials are awaiting confirmation that the profile can withstand the current upper level winds. Closing problems step by step until ring the 2:50 pm. Rodolfo |

I prefer the shuttle/ISS windows - 5 minutes or so per day and you are done. Or Delta II's one second.

At least there're no fishing boats above the launch sector, here at the coast they prefer to pay the fine during 'firing season' ( Anti-Aircraft missiles )

1955 GMT (2:55 p.m. EST)
The new timeline calls for the launch team readiness poll at 2:58 p.m., resumption of the countdown at 3:01 p.m. and liftoff at 3:05 p.m. EST (2005 GMT). |

I'm lucky enough to be working from home today...someone stuck in a meeting is going to want to kill me, I'm sure.
I've got NASA TV on all three televisions on the house, so in case the tension gets too much and I have to take a break and pace around, I'll never be too far away. And I've even held off coffee this AM since I know that with any amount of caffiene in my system, it really would be unbearable. For liftoff, of course, I plan to run down to the big 50" downstairs... --N |

Poll finished, ANOTHER new T-0 at 20:23 Zulu, all factors acceptable *including* upper-level winds.

They're now going for the very end of the launch window.
