BTW, orbit 202 is the ~ 1:54 PM landing opportunity, orbit 203 is about 90
minutes later.

If they wave off tomnorrow, they will also activate the Edwards AFB site
for Friday. Landing at KSC is much preferred, so they will go there first
if possible.
An Edwards landing adds lots of expense, and turn around time for the next
shuttle mission with Atlantis.
