Any news on a launch date change?

Well, in an e-mail dated 07.26.06- "NASA MEDIA ADVISORY: M06-122" it was
stated:

"NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis is set to embark on a four-mile journey
to Launch Pad 39-B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla. on Monday,
July 31. First motion is scheduled for 12:01 a.m. EDT. Atlantis'
launch window begins Aug. 28 for an 11-day mission to the
International Space Station."

Yet the latest one I've received, dated 08.02.06, titled "RELEASE: 06-287"
it says:

"The launch window for the Atlantis mission to the International Space
Station opens on Sunday, Aug. 27. The mission, designated STS-115,
will be the first to perform a major expansion of the station since
December 2002."

So, apparently the window has moved up a day

Yes, they are going to try to launch a day early, the 27th.
