Finally, NASA will begin the shuttle launch countdown on June 28. We have less than 4 years to finish the ISS. Space travel is dangerous and people need to accept that there is a risk of problems for the forseable future.

NASA will begin the countdown for the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery at 5 p.m. EDT June 28. The countdown includes nearly 28 hours of built-in hold time leading to a scheduled launch at about 3:49 p.m. on July 1. The launch window extends for nearly five minutes. The launch team at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., will conduct the countdown from the newly renovated Firing Room 4 of the Launch Control Center.
