A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Countdown for the last launch for Discovery started yesterday, probably the second to last launch of any space shuttle unless NASA can squeeze one more out with the remaining quarters in the piggy bank.

It's off to the International Space station on Wednesday, weather and leaky pipes permitting.

Weather closing in and another glitch with the onboard system. If no launch tomorrow, then its a wait until December 1st.

Computer problems have been fixed, the planned launch is in just under ten hours.

According to the link in post #2 there is one more day to go
 
Yes, they've moved the launch back a day to allow the weather front to pass over.
 
And a leak puts paid to the current schedule. Next countdown is planned for the 30th.
