The astronauts hope to strap in for real the night of March 10 for a launch at 2:28:10 a.m. [EDT] on March 11. As it now stands, NASA will have two shots at getting Endeavour off the ground, on March 11 or 12, before standing down a few days to make way for the already planned launch of an unmanned Delta 2 rocket carrying an Air Force Global Positioning System satellite.
