  1. Scrubbed. Nuts! OK, NASA will try again to launch the Ares I-X rocket soon. More news (including new time) as it comes in.
  2. Survey says... green on weather, but RED on wind. It looks bad, we're at NO GO, but update in a few more seconds...
  3. If Ares I-X doesn't light up at 11:24, then it'll be scrubbed for the day. Clock must restart in 2 minutes.
  4. Nuts! Just went RED on winds, they are too fast. Clock will hold longer. Arg! Resume at 11:20 for 11:24 launch.
  5. Weather is green... clock will resume at 11:15 for an 11:19 launch!
  6. And we're back to a 11:19 launch time. Weather playing havoc with timing. Weather *may* be OK for launch then.
  7. And the call is... NO GO for weather. So the countdown clock will stay on hold for now. Not scrubbed yet, just waiting.
  8. Geez, NASA, make up yer minds! :) New launch time: 11:14 ET (15:14 GMT). Clock resumes at 11:10.
  9. Launch now targeted for 11:19, countdown at T-4 and will pick up at (duh) 11:15. All times Eastern.
  10. New target launch time: 11:04 Eastern time (15:04 GMT).
  11. Weather still looking grim. Clouds, wind. Still hoping though.
  12. Ares I-X is in a hold, planned for 10:54 ET launch 35 min from now). Weather an issue. Follow me at @BANews for more.
  13. That's that! Discovery is home, with another successful mission completed. Now? Dinner for me. Later, tweeps!
  14. Discovery at full stop.
  15. She's home. Long trip, 13 days, and 5.7 million miles.
  16. NOse gear is down.
  17. TOUCHDOWN! Discovery is down on the ground.
  18. Gear deployed!
  19. (man, this is dramatic footage)
  20. Shuttle making slow turn, bleeding speed and aligning with runway.
