There is a 80% chance of launch today concerning the weather limitations. Everything looks rather good at the moment for a perfect launch today :)

Yeah great pictures. Can't wait to see them lifting off. I believe that this will be a perfect prelaunch and lift off, almost like in a storybook :)

Oh baby, this will be a mission for the books ;D So close to launch without any problems. Cabin leak checks and hatch sealing was perfectly done. The weather looks great too. Just 50 minutes to go... :)

I guess you would, if you'd be inside the real shuttle with a bunch of problems,
all piling up as time keeps ticking! ;)

Well, I would do what the crew actually does: watching to my wristwatch, since the MET timer doesn't count before launch anyway as far as I know ;)

But there are astronauts who even don't care about. One guy even fell asleep, but I don't remember his name yet. The crew is much more relaxed as we may think.
