Of course you all know tthat today's launch was scrubbed:

NASA scrapped Wednesday's launch of the first shuttle flight in 2 1/2 years because of a fuel gauge that mistakenly read full instead of empty, a frustrating setback to the agency's bid to get back into space after the Columbia tragedy.

"All I can say is shucks," deputy shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said at a news conference of grim-faced NASA managers.

The launch was delayed until at least Saturday, and the postponement could last much longer, depending on the repairs needed.
NASA has TBD as it's new launch date:
