Any Windows Media link?

Tanking operations have now been underway for more than an hour, everything continues to look good for launch later today. NASA TV is currently airing a static shot from the LC-39A perimeter camera.

On one of the umbilical connections to the "Liquid Hydrogen starboard side". That's a place where "they'd rather not have ice on" to quote Shuttle Launch staff because it may chip off and damage a tile during launch.
