The Discovery launch has been scrubbed today because of a faulty fuel sensor. No word yet on the next possible date. The last time I remember being this wound up over a launch was the first one after Challenger. I remember watching that one and holding my breath.
Fun story told by astronaut Jeff Ashby on CNN. He brought up and installed a Navy bell on the International Space Station to announce special guests. He mentioned having to set up rules for it. As he joked, "We couldn't have the Air Force guys using it to announce dinner".
