Edit...They have waved off the first oportunity and will now go for the second...De-orbit burn should now be at 23:35 GMT with a night landing at about 00:40 GMT Thursday

That one has been waved off due to cloud - I thought I heard now 0733 CT = 1233 GMT Thursday

Anyone confirm?

Must've miss heard. They landed at 1939CST (or 0039 GMT) with no anomalies. The delay must have been 1 orbit (~90 minutes) and not 12 hours.

Well my estimate was only a minute out

Yep, but Ian's was 12 out.
