Soyuz launch -- NASA ISS page now says March 30/02:30 GMT vice March 31

I'm presuming that the NASA ISS page has just gotten confused
over the overnight date-of-launch of Soyuz TMA-8 at the end
of this month. All previous reports from NASA have specified
March 30, 9:30 PM EST (March 31, 02:30 gmt), but now this
new report gives the launch date as one day earlier. A change
in schedule, or just a sloppy time zone conversion mistake?

for launch March 29 at 9:30 p.m. EST.
