It appears that the cabin close-out crew was removing a piece of tape from the hatch and pulled off a small chunk of a protective tile. They’re evaluating it at this time.
I’d hate to think they’ll scrub this thing just because the close-out crew fudged up the door.

A small tile ding, near the hatch, has been patched.

Nicole of Discovery crew is from Clearwater, FL.
It's overcast today - probably won't be able to see the launch from our backyard. Discovery flew over my house in 2007 returning to the cape.

Range Safety just went NO GO due to a problem with their computer. They’re attempting to fix it in time to launch. Stand by...

Range is a no-go due to computer problems, Windows 7?

Launch Director, Flight Systems, and Mission Control Houston have agreed to allow the countdown to continue to T-5:00 to allow Range Safety to get their problem fixed. If they can’t, then the launch is NO GO.

All flight departments reporting GO for launch ... except for Range Safety.
Will resume count down to 5 minutes starting at 4:41:27 or so. Will hold at 5 mins.
