    They could go down to T-5 and hold there to buy four minutes of time to wait, but unlikely they'd go any farther without a go from Range Weather and Houston Flight.

    The flight director checks with all controllers and Managers if they are "Go" or "No Go" for launch.

    At the moment we have a NoGo for weatrher and range:(

    They 'poll' all the various stations which are monitoring various systems to do with the Shuttle,hardware,weather,electrical systems etc. All have to be Green to allow for launch.

    It's a scrub this morning unfortunately.:(

    Sorry to hear that, such is the life of a Shuttle watcher. it's happened to me so many time over the last 29 years. But the gods have always smilled down on me as I have never missed a launch, 129 and counting:)
