I have been trying to watch the launch of the Delta 4 rocket launching the GPS 2F-1 navigation satellite.
It has had several down to the wire holds and reschedules.
Looking again.

0012 GMT (8:12 p.m. EDT)
That issue in the Delta 4 rocket's countdown has been resolved, the launch team just announced. Work to finish fueling the vehicle before tonight's 11:00 p.m. EDT liftoff is underway.
0002 GMT (8:02 p.m. EDT)
The launch team has run into some sort of issue during the first stage liquid hydrogen post-fueling vent and relief checks. Engineers are assessing it.

The first stage liquid oxygen tank has been loaded and the upper stage's LOX tank is being filled currently. The upper stage liquid hydrogen has been tanked as well.

Weather remain favorable and there's an 80 percent chance of "go" conditions at launch time tonight.
