However, it could be touch and go for you now. The repairs for earlier ET's held up the arrival of STS-124's one at KSC which, in turn, holds up the stacking in the VAB. As far as I know, that's the factor restricting an earlier roll to the pad.</p><p>Launch is scheduled for May 25th, though they are apparently reserving the option to go a few days earlier than that. They are only pushing the launch back a month because of bad sun angles through the beginning of May, not because they are way behind in processing. Therefore, given they need two or three weeks (I think) at the pad to process the stack for launch, and assuming the ET delay only pushed things a few days, they could be about ready to rollout around the time you're in Florida.</p><p>All of which is a convoluted way of saying the other guys are right. Too early to know at this point, but you might get lucky. Like the others, I couldn't find anything from NASA indicating they have made a decision on rollout.</p><p> </p><p>SK<br /></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?
