Live Blogging of Return to Flight

I'll be live blogging the STS-114 launch this Wendesday July 13. More stuff at Space.com .

Countdown 101
T Minus 3 hours and holding...
The Shuttle astronauts are suiting up and the Ice inspection team is out inspecting Discovery.

T Minus 3 hours and counting....
The shuttle crew are all dressed up and leaving for launch pad 39B.

The crew is at the pad gate now....

The crew is getting off the elevator....

The white room staff fussing over the crew and final prep...

(The Yahoo portal on NASA TV is working great, I switched from space.com NASA TV, was getting a bad delay
NASA TV
).

Go Japan! Nice Flag.

Computer Number 5 is booting up....

Last of the 7 crew has boarded Discovery...

Low level fuel cut off sensor problem now, so the engines cut off early there will be fuel to the engines. Launch has been scrubbed today! Ah Shucks!

I'll blog again on the next day to launch.
