Delayed, oh no!
Overnight Shuttle workers found a leak in a gaseous nitrogen line that is used to pressurize the OMS fuel tanks. They needed to remove and replace the connectors and line. This caused NASA managers to take a 24 hour delay to the launch. So now the NASA Tweetup event will start on Monday November 1 and go through the launch on Tuesday November 2. Im still going! After a quick scramble to change travel plans, all is good now.
Stay tuned for more updates!
