They'll keep the coutdown at a 9 min hold, 2:20 is most likely an ideal launch window.

Now on t-00:09.00 mins Hold.

Should be about 40 mins to launch.

cheers for the reminder uberl33t...

been reminding myself today, but being in scotland, being it a friday, and being it the last day of work until monday, i am instantly drawn to strong alcoholic beveridges

Got it live on CNN and Fox now

Ah, I see.

Too bad, I was hoping to watch before I had to leave for work.

its a planned extended HOLD to do final checks - I always hate this one as its the one the last few launches I have attempted to watch the weather has caught them out!

Positive vibes...this one's gonna go

Sounds that way - Im listening to the NASA feed and it seems they are closing out a couple of problem checks that might lengthen the hold but only potentially.

I will miss these launches - only discovered how good NASA TV was a couple of years ago so Im cursing all the launches i missed. Made up for it by staying up late a few times to watch the whole process and found it fascinating.

there is like three other threads with about the shuttle launch....

great stuff. Thanks for the live link

Shall miss you Atlantis, THANKS more history befor our eyes and I cannot get the feeds to work.

20 mins left in this planned hold, they just announced..

The isssue they are waiting for a close out on is related to a ball bearing found on the back of the payload bay before they shut the payload doors.

They think its a retaining ball from one of the camera mounts but are awaiting total confirmation. They had confirmation but further scrutiny lead to further discussion.

For those that can't view the video, check that your Flash is up to date

look like they are closing that out now.

No longer a constraint so go!

"Flash!, Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhh.......... Savior of the universe!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist
