It is almost that time! Space Shuttle Discovery is geared up and ready to launch for the STS-119 mission to the International Space Station.


Hey Ben and Cariann,
Great podcast, with the overview of the mission and highlights of key mission events.
I do have one question: When will your launch coverage start? I know NASA TV’s coverage starts at noon Pacific (7 PM UTC), so will yours start earlier or later?
Thanks,

Later… kinda. We always run NASA TV… so we will be broadcasting their coverage. But as far as the Ben and Cariann show, that will start closer to the actual time of launch. Usually closer to an hour or so before launch time. Although now with it being delayed by a day, it should be interesting.
Final set, I can confirm. The launch was bumped to tomorrow.
