Shuttle Discovery: successful mission and landing
im psyched for this liftoff as it is a night launch and have heard from people around here that we will be able to see it.
Launch Time: 8:37 p.m. EST
Landing Date: 12/22/06
Landing Time: 3:56 pm
Mission Duration: 12 days
chances of a landing at KSC are moderate with white sands and edwars looking better.

They haven't had a night launch in like forever. We were thinking about driving the girls up to Cocoa to see it go off. It is a once in a lifetime experience. It goes from dark to ........BAM all the sudden its like the sun is up, the whole beach lights up. Hubby is afraid of a scrub though.

Problems may hinder Discovery launch
Weather and technical glitches jeopardize Thursday's planned liftoff
By Seth Borenstein
Updated: 1 hour, 3 minutes ago
CAPE CANAVERAL - Continually worsening weather forecasts and two late-breaking technical worries created uncertainty Wednesday about the planned night launch of the space shuttle Discovery.
NASA meteorologists downgraded the chance for good weather at the scheduled 9:35 p.m. EST Thursday launch time to only 40 percent with low, lingering clouds more likely than not to prevent liftoff.
"The forecast has trended toward the worse," NASA shuttle weather officer Kathy Winters said Wednesday morning.
Along with concern about the weather, engineers planned to spend much of Wednesday trying to decide whether the two technical problems — a brief power surge and concerns about a glue that helps protect seals in the solid-fuel rocket boosters — were minor or major.
