Although weather threatens the launch of the shuttle tomorrow
morning, NASA has decided to go ahead with the external tank fueling,
set to begin after midnight tonight.  Weather at the emergency
langing sites, in Spain and West Germany, is also predicted to
be bad, with clearing expected by Wednesday.  The current launch
window expires after 5 December, when lunar reflection becomes too
bright for Spacelab experiments.  The next window is in February.
