[AllanStern at aol.com]

US Coast Guard Range Control has been having comms  with Bairs Cove,  CG 
25442 and CG Cutter Shrike on 157.075.
They have  been discussing a probable scrub for  today's launch.
Now the announcement has been made for  SCRUB.

Also  thanks to Bill Harwood for the following information:

LAUNCH SCRUBBED to  no earlier than Friday night to collect additional data 
 

NASA  managers today decided to order another delay for launch of the   
shuttle Discovery to give engineers additional time to asses data regarding 
 the  
operation of an 8-inch hydrogen valve in the orbiter's aft  compartment. 
NASA 
had  been hoping to make a launch attempt at 12:22  a.m. Friday, but launch 
now will  slip to no earlier than 11:59 p.m.  Friday. Because the space 
station launch  window moves about 23 minutes  earlier per day, Discovery 
had two 
launch  opportunities Friday,  separated by nearly 24 hours.
