Thought I'd start a new thread for the attempt on Friday.
Let's go and explore space.

No current weather concerns for launch and all operations are going well.

One of the best I've seen. Almost as loud as Shuttle, surprisingly. I think the still air and humidity helped!

That thumbnail is my initial pic. I will have remote shots from the pad later on.

Chuck Dovale has just been inteviewed:  He said it was a contrast to yesterday, that everything everything went smoothly and the spacecraft currenly looks good and things are proceeding well.  

It was also confirmed that the Solar Arrays on MRO are now 1/2 of the way deployed and they are seeing good power levels.
