Good luck to the crew of Endeavour. May they speed safely into the heavens and scream back down to Earth in the same manner

We are now less than 12 hours away from launch.

RSS retract time officially listed as 23:58pm.


Probability of KSC weather prohibiting tanking:  0%   
Primary concern(s):  Showers within 20NM of  the SLF, cumulus clouds.
Probability of KSC weather prohibiting launch:  30%

I have to go to school so if anyone can take over it would be great.
I get all my info from here

Cocked and locked.... I have to work tonight but we have NASA TV at work!!  Bonus!  ;)

Question: I wonder who draws the short straw, and has to test this new 'Water purification' system first?   :-X

Well, myself and my two year old son are both GO for launch.  This will be his first live launch, and we've been training all day. ;D

Crew strapping in right now. 6:55 PM CDT launch is on schedule. Weather looking like it's a non factor.

The great thing with night launches is that if it is dark enough, it can be seen from Miami.  Although currently I am in DC so I will have to view from the TV.

Anyone in Central FL tonight, I hope you enjoy the view.

Did anyone see it? I live in West Palm Beach and I could see that amazing Shuttle lifting up, I mean the glow of the booster rockets was imense! Just before I saw it come over the house line, there was this huge glow of orange throught the sky, It was really cool.

Its been a while since ive seen one, and living 3 hours away from KSC still gives an awe of that shuttle lifting up to space. Was really incredible, I could actually see the space shuttle with my binoculars. And the ME were visible too.
