"Holds" are built into any countdown, but it's the unexpected holds that get people biting their nails when they know it's past the scheduled time for the rocket to launch. The flight could even be "scrubed" (cancelled), and folk's standing by the shore of the Indian River might not even know it.
space.launch.info is now providing a service to notify people of holds in the countdown, and scrubs if they occur, via SMS (Short Message Service), the text messaging service of your cellular mobile phone.
Companies interested in sponsoring the service should contact Robert Osband by dialing 3-2-1-Liftoff (+1 321 543 8633).
