Sorry I had school today and have been very busy since Christmas Eve. Things are finally slowing down.

The roll out occurred at 5:17 AM.
They completed ahead of schedule. With Hard down at the pad at 12:16 PM.
The crawler has been removed and at its waiting point. (If it needs to tow it back to the VAB)
RSS was closed in on Endeavour at 2:40 PM.

Is this going to neccessitate a rollback to the VAB or can it be done on the pad?

[spaceboy7441]

It's staying at the pad.

[JLM]

It's staying at the pad.

I was watching NASA TV and they said that a fuel flow control valve piece was broken or something.
