Here in EU at about 8:38 AM, not a real bad time to get out of bed.

You're in for an unpleasant surprise. The US goes to daylight savings
time earlier than the UK this year, and STS-123 happens to be in between
the time changes. So you're only four hours ahead of KSC. Better get up
an hour earlier. Actually, better make that an hour ten - Angela
screwed up the time, it's really 0228 EDT, 0628 GMT. |

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of that change this year. Very useful as I
do some business with an entity on the East oast
Still, 6.28 AM is not *too* bad. Better than 2.28 AM! |

Long night for me: http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc says
05:28:00 a.m.
Maybe an early morning instead of a late night. |

At present. From Sun, 2008-03-09 07:00 to Sun, 2008-03-30 01:00 you
will only be four hours ahead.
One hopes that KSC will have remembered that they'll lose a civil hour
during countdown.

You seem to be in Australia. If so, do you really believe that?
The USA will be 4 hours behind GMT, so GMT 06:28, and in Summer I
believe Sydney to be 11 hours ahead of GMT with most of the rest of
Australia not far behind. I get Tue, 2008-03-11 17:28:00 for NSW, using
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-date5.htm#Demo>.
Given that they're flying to the ISS, you'd think they would publish the
times also in UT - or would you?

I would have thought UT would be ideal. NASA makes a big fuss about how the
shuttle "inspires the world", but don't even consider other time zones. |

....Uh, that's only on the East Coast. By the time you make it out to
the Left Coast, you're up to 7. And then along comes the myth called
Daylight Savings Time.

Florida's not civil. You're thinkg of Virginia or maybe Georgia.
