NASA has given shuttle Atlantis a go for a 10:24 a.m. deorbit burn.
Flying the shuttle upside down and backwards, Atlantis mission commander Scott Altman will fire the shuttle's twin maneuvering engines for about two-and-a-half minutes, slowing the shuttle enough to drop it out of orbit.
Landing is scheduled for 11:39 a.m. at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

I wonder if this is a case of all-weather aircraft, fair weather managers?
It is nice. partly clouds and partly sunshine at KSC. It is no excuse as NASA staffs just played around and go out to party. They just want extra money to pay more.
