With a two-day delay, and hopefully no further hiccoughs, Disco is set to launch tomorrow! How will you be celebrating the occasion?
Me, I'll be at work with my co-workers huddled around my monitor watching the whole thing via the internet. When I go home, I'll be making Moon cookies for my Brownie unit. I wish I had an orbiter or shuttle cookie cutter. They'll all get to see the launch video and have a little spaceflight night.
In addition, did everyone get to see the high resolution photo of Discovery on the launch pad?

Or check out all the details on Robonaut 2?

I am really excited to see how Robonaut performs at the ISS.
Here's hoping for an on-time launch tomorrow. I have a friend from New Zealand hanging out in Titusville right now who doesn't want to miss it.
STS-133

Delayed again...
But I'm still making cookies! We'll watch the video of STS-118 tonight instead and hype the kids up for whenever STS-133 really does launch.
Edited to add: Looks like the hydrogen leak pushed the launch back to no earlier than 30 November.
