NASA will Thursday try to launch space shuttle Discovery on its final voyage, although stormy weather could force yet another delay.
Mission managers met Wednesday afternoon and into the evening to discuss an electrical problem that forced the latest postponement. They concluded the circuit breaker trouble no longer exists and the shuttle is safe to fly.
But forecasters warned there is an 80 per cent chance that thunderstorms will keep Discovery on the pad. Liftoff is scheduled for 3:29 p.m. (1929 GMT).

Rain, rain, rain here this morning. And then supposed to be rainy & windy later this afternoon. I would be surprised if it lifted off today.
It may have been OK’d but if the wind is stronger than a butterfly sneeze they won’t launch. It’s pretty bad out here. I’m 40 miles west of the KSC.
this is probably their last chance even if a butterfly would sneeze given the personal endorsement of the muzzie prez de-funding the project there are only so many missions left dont you think?
Scrubbed due to weather.
