Shuttle Endeavour had three scrubbed launches in the past week and is now scheduled to blast off at 6:03 PM Florida time (3:03 PM in Arizona) on Wednesday. The problem is not with the shuttle but with storms. As with Arizona in the summer, Florida usually sees quite a few afternoon storms. Any lightning even close to the shuttle will keep it on the ground. If Endeavour does launch, you can watch it live on NASA TV. Plus follow along with all the preparations for launch at NASA's Launch Blog. Postings begin about three or four hours before launch. If it does not launch, Endeavour will sit on the launch pad for another two weeks while a Russian resupply ship lifts off to meet up with the International Space Station instead.
