Look for me on spaceflightnow.com tomorrow!

I am very optimistic that we will have a successful launch tomorrow night! STS-119 will be the 125th space shuttle flight and the 28th flight to the International Space Station. Discovery and its crew will deliver the final set of large power-generating solar array wings and integrated truss structure, S6, to the space station. The mission includes four spacewalks. Launch is still scheduled for 9:20 p.m EDT tomorrow!!

Tomorrow I will be on site at Kennedy Space Center not only go to work, but to also be interviewed during a live broadcast for STS-119 mission coverage. There may be some TV networks I'll be on, but I won't know which ones until tomorrow. I am scheduled to air on spaceflightnow.com around 7:45pm EDT. (see below)
