2:10pm Eastern time now!

So 19:10 Our time



I think I just heard someone say 1955 Zulu.
The end of today's window is coming up fast!

Stop press - 2:50 Eastern time.

Does drumming ones fingers on the desk help at all??
Maybe if we all drum in unison?

be quick though they are in the hold at T-4mins

Be aware that if you're watching via the web then it is slightly
delayed. I've also got it on via the Sky News (501) red button thingy
and just had time to get upstairs to the PC to hear the same piece of
commentary again via the web. I'd estimate it's about 20-30 secs only
though.

Rats!
They've had a "red line monitor" fault, or something. Better luck next
time, guys.

They were monitoring the wind speeds and it went above the limit, displayed
as a red line.

I don't know, but the wide angle view of the (probably) launch control room
showed the large left hand screen with what looked like a continuous wind
speed graph on it. There was a red line on the graph and recent peaks
frequently went higher than that line.

Thanks ;-) I wasn't even sure I'd heard it right.
Apparently the next launch attempt will be tomorrow (Thursday) - seems
they've had a power failure at the lab managing the mission.

I see that it's been postponed yet again. At this rate it's going to be big
news when they STOP postponing it!
