Eight minutes and thirty seconds (approx.) to main engine cut off. What a ride that must be! I went outside about 45 minutes ago and thought I might see the ISS over central Texas tonight but didn't see it.:-(

Unless it rains, thunders or they have one of a hundred technical glitches.

Sorry, but I'm ready for the next (hopefully better) generation of space vehicles.

What is the deal on the fuel cell? Did we not bring one mission home early due to a malfunction in a fuel cell?

Probably not going to launch today:
he launch team has reported that an ECO sensor on the hydrogen side of the external tank has failed. At this time the team is pressing forward with launch preparations. Mission Management Team members are meeting to determine if they will consider launching with three working sensors or if it will be necessary to de-tank and come back tomorrow.
Fox News reports:
NASA managers have two options: scrub for the day and try Saturday or fly with only three of the four hydrogen fuel sensors working properly. Although no decision had been made, the space agency was leaning toward postponing for a day, said NASA press secretary Dean Acosta.
Launch preparations and continuing, but nobody here should be surprised if it gets called off in the next hour or so.

Here in Vero on the east coast. Clouds to the west put they don't appear to be moving in that quickly. Crystal blue skies to the east.
