    Thunder storms in the north...I think they're evaluating if they'll move away fast enough to make an emergency Return To Launch Site manuevre safe, if need be. T-9 minutes and holding.

    There's clear enough sky south but I don't think it's gonna make it up here. Nasa tv coverage is cool though. I'm glad we get to see the live launch.

    I doubt they're gonna launch tonight...Weather seems unpredictable, with storms in the north. Thank goodness, it'd be impossible to see anything where I am. Although judging by the weather forecast tomorrow will be poor too.

    Sorry for the Lads in Galway and The south east but I am glad its looking like being scrubbed again cause its cloudy for me in Wicklow and the forecast is better for tomorrow night. Third times a charm right!! :D

    I love watching the nasa coverage. Doesn't sound very promising though from what they are saying. And to think I just checked nasa.gov to see the launch I assumed had happened last night.

    Do they have to launch at around 6-7 pm? Weather is much quieter early in the morning as a rule.

    Okay thats that. :(

    You can watch live on Fox News Channel 509 on Sky Digital when a launch goes ahead they give quite good coverage, Sky News sometimes show NASA TV on the Red Button Interactive Feed.

    Maybe NASA are secretly waiting until weather conditions clear up in Ireland so we can all watch the launch. :)



    Maybe not...
