STS-128: The countdown for Discovery's launch resumed at 8:34a EDT at T-11 hours w/ no issues being worked to affact an 11:59p liftoff

No wonder why NASA cant get there ish together they cant spell lol. Spell check is just a click away.

Fueling of Discovery's large external tank began at 2:45pmET. Filling the tank will take about 3 hours.

Thats nuts 3 hours.. Wow

Hopefully this thing goes off tonight tired of waiting.
