I am here. Right now they are fueling the shuttle Atlantis which looks very promising. The weather is still iffy…30% chance of launch due to that. We’ll see. This Space Available will keep you posted with further news overnight.

5:00 AM update – suiting operations/final inspection have begun; no technical problems. Still waiting on the weather.

Around 6:00 AM: Atlantis looks great. Inspections are taking place & comm checks are going on. One of Atlantis’ boosters has a case from STS 1 on it. That made me tear up…they remembered John and Bob.
