We set the alarm for 4:00 am to ride down to the golf course to see the last scheduled nighttime launch of the space shuttle at 4:39 am. At 4:15 there was only a 30% chance of lift-off but we were hopeful (and already awake anyway) so off we went only to notice everyone else driving in the opposite direction. That was a definite sign that the mission was scrubbed due to low cloud cover. They are trying again tomorrow at 4:13 am- hope the Superbowl game doesn't go into overtime!
