A report I saw said maybe September for the launch.
Funny, but I used to take these launches for granted. Now it feels like the stakes are so much higher that I was really anxious to see this.
EDIT: Now it says Monday for the earliest. Probably going to be a very dynamic situation intially.

Yeah, it sucks, because they flew in From DK and stayed with us for 2 days, then drove down to Florida to see the launch... I guess they can go with plan B Disney worlds's Space Mountain :icon19:

Speaking of NASA, I remember having to sit through a small church service at some little town a couple years ago. The guy talking to the congregation was giving a story about how NASA used the Bible to land a man on the moon.
It was really sad, and pathetic, because he was telling an urban legend that has been debunked for over 30 years, yet the people watching believed every single word of it. The jist of the story is that NASA was not able to get the "calculations for landing a man on the moon right" and then one of the scientists remembered a passage in the Bible that talked about God taking the sun out for a day (probably a description of them witnessing a solar eclipse that was attributed to God because they didn't have a rational explantation). Anyhow, I'm sitting there in my chair about to have a fucking seizure as a result of the attack in my intellect and the terror of realizing that the people in this crowd have the right to vote.
So, the story ends with the NASA scientists looking at the bible, and realizing that the Sun was gone for a day a few thousand years ago, and when they factored that into their gravity calculations, they all worked out, and then we put a man on the moon. He finished the talk with "And people will try to say the Bible isn't scientifically accurate...you tell that to NASA."
Who'd have thought that NASA's primary reference for putting a man on the moon wasn't traditional physics, but rather a few misquoted passages in the old testament...
The folks in the crowd were truly amazed, and this led to talk about how they are getting more and more scientific evidence for Noah's ark, and all this other crap. I finally intentionally spilled hot coffee on my lap to divert my attention from the painful discussion.
Here's the story from snopes.com

Essentially, the story was cooked up by some born again Christian who owned a company that was contracted by NASA to make electric generators. NASA has flatly denied it.
