I must say ive been to about 13 or so launchs now.....by far the best view and best conditions for a launch ive seen yet from the causeway at CCAFS, was thinking about going to the VAB but the causeway was the place to be, i wana give a shout out to the launch director too who gladly pointed out the ISS was coming up behind us got a great view of the station as well

Just read in the rss that they are having issues with the ku antenna. The shuttle can still perform the mission, docking and communications, but data with have to be prioritized, I.e. The OBSS inspection will be videoed and sent down later, rather than having a 'live show' in Huston.

The KU will be missed by those of us that are earthbound.  Once docked we'll get our live TV back via the station KU, correct??

Crew are now inspecting the tiles and recording to tapes. The recording will then be transmitted to GC, for analysis.

Yup! Not only will they downlink all the video up to then that they couldn't due to the failed shuttle KU, but there will be live video up until undocking. I think all live video while docked was always done via station KU. Now... as for the late OBSS survey...  they're evaluating whether to do it WHILE docked in order to downlink via station KU.
