Hi Ray the Discovery will move,but only back into its shed. No lift off.
Cape getting average of two thunder storms(lots of rain) each day. Heat
and humidity almost unbearable. As bad a time NASA picked (July 13) for
the next two months its even worse. NASA knowing the Discovery is no
safer to fly than Columbia had picked this this time of very bad weather
to see that Discovery is safe on the ground.(good excuse) Reality is
its not all that safe sitting on the ground,as we see stuff falling off
it(tiles breaking) So many and such strong lightning bolts. Yesterday
one bolt knocked out my web. Finally got it working again,and like
always before connecting me it asked "Have you moved" I think
Discovery sensors are all going to say 10 minutes before lift off
"don't fire" Bert
