Sagot :

We have here two  independent clauses:
1)The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday
2)
the departure time is 3:00 P.M

When you have two independent clauses which are not joined by any conjunction, you should put a semicolon between them. So in any case the following option is the correct one:!

A. The space shuttle is taking off on Saturday; the departure time is 3:00 P.M.
