Thanks for the heads-up. I was thinking the other day that Atlantis was meant to be going up soon due to the prior scrubbed launch, but could not remember when.
I'm just reading the latest report and seems like there's a 30 percent chance of launch tomorrow due to weather. Hopefully things will clear up and they won't have to scrub the launch tomorrow.

Launch still go. Lift-off now 49 mins away.

There isn't a direct conversion available, but from what I've googled, they reckon on about 1lb = 2bhp, so you would be looking at 15 million bhp, which is nice, but it's probably only got about 20 ft/lb torque and an impreza would have it in the twisties

Keep your fingers crossed people. Seems to be a thunderstorm near space center, hopefully it'll move away from the site before 2:45, if not, it'll be scrubbed.

2:20 p.m. - The Mission Management Team is being polled for launch and everyone has reported they are "go" for launch today. The MMT, as it is known, reports that the space shuttle Atlantis is ready for the mission.
