The countdown towards Wednesday's launch began at 0400 EST today,
and NASA said it was considering informing reporters when the
count reached T-9 minutes.  A decision is expected today.  Because
of built in holds in the countdown, even with the beginning known,
it is still impossible to determine the precise launch time, which
will be between 1315 and 1715 EST Wednesday.
