Hanging on and being rewarded at the NASA press site
The meeting discussed an issue with a main engine controller on space shuttle Discovery and a decision was taken whether Discovery will be „go“ for tomorrow’s launch or not. And the result is: Go, if weather permits. But of course this was not the only thing worth waiting for. Thilo and me , along with all those other journalists have been rewarded with a night viewing of the rollback of Space shuttle Discovery's Rotating Service Structure. More on that in the next blogpost.
