Tweeters from NASA:
NASA Space shuttle managers meet at 11a ET to discuss when next launch try would be. Preliminary schedule is Monday at the earliest. Stay tuned.
NASA shuttle managers have scrubbed today’s launch attempt of Discovery’s STS-133 mission due to a hydrogen gas leak. Next attempt TBD.
The Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate, or GUCP, carries gaseous hydrogen safely away from the shuttle to a flare stack, where it burns off.
Shuttle managers are evaluating a gaseous hydrogen leak at the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate that attaches to the external tank.

So, this was indeed negative awesome. Now we’re waiting for the dispersed tour group to reassemble so we can go back to Orlando.
