Just a few things

!. The weather is going to suck on Friday, it gets much better on Sunday.  I would expect to see a launch on Sunday.  Once you get stuck in a summer weather pattern it tends to repeat.  The launch window pushes back 30 minutes every day so Sunday's launch would be around 9:36 AM EDT.
2. NASA is not dead they are just flying unmanned missions, like in 1977, the space agency is pushing it's unmanned science missions.  The overview was way too breif to explain what's going on for Juno, Grail and the next Mars Mission.  So if you have interest in those missions check the NASA website and find the information you wish to know about.  Two of these missions will have live webcams...Grail which is a lunar mission and Juno which heads off on a five year mission to Jupiter next month. That means you and I at home can see what these spacecraft are seeing.  That's never happened before.
3. Download or capture this video.   
It's got everything but Jay Barbree  , features a priceless interview with the late Reuters correspondent Marry Bubb who always wore at hat for every launch, for STS 1 you can see here in her Shuttle hat. The voice over guy who narrates isn't that great.. NASA you could have had Jim Cutler or I do it.
