According to the news I just heard, it may be delayed due to weather conditions. I think if it doesn't go off today the next possible launch date is the 16th.

Looking at about T-55 at the moment, so far so good.

Live countdown clock here: http://countdown.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/countdown/cdt/

EDIT: The REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT tag has been removed. T-25. Looks good to go so far.

T-9 and off hold

Edit T-2

Noooo, hold again at -31 seconds

It's off

Yeah, I think the circuit indicating the Fuel tank cap (Gaseous Vent Arm) had swung clear of the shuttle didn't fire properly so it had to be checked visually through a camera.

Either way, a good launch, good work to all those involved.
