We've got to be very careful that we don't say tomorrow we're going to find the big eureka in space. I don't think it's going to come. Small, slow steps, and then eventually we'll cross some tipping point why in the heck weren't we doing research in space all along.

FD2 Update Thread now live:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=24227.0

Great work by all involved with the coverage, especially Ron, and the several members who spent time providing coverage. Also thanks to everyone else for allowing this thread to run very smoothly and with hardly any need to moderate it.

Awesome day! Now for Discovery and her crew to have a flawless mission. She's a retiring superstar that deserves nothing less.

Something (small) slowly floating out of the payload bay? Hard to see it in these screen shots.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. -- Douglas Adams

Hope we didn't need that washer.

High resolution launch images are now on L2 for anyone who hasn't seen them. I'm off to bed now.

MCC-H wants the DAT stuff down. CDR confirmed no ET photos taken (due to orbital darkness at pitch maneuver time). Nicole Stott configuring for umbilical well image downlink.

UPDATE: 23 ET umbilical well images on board ready for downlink.

I take it the ET handheld footage wasn't worth showing? Schedule shows it should have been shown 20 minutes ago.

According to CDR Lindsey and later from the PAO, it was took dark to get images of the ET due to going into orbital night...
