LIVE interactive coverage for Endeavour's STS-134 countdown, launch attempt 2.
This is interactive, but will remain focused on updates. Use the other threads.
List:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?board=4.0
- for items such as viewing the launch, weather and cheerleading posts.
The site will get very busy as we get closer to launch, so please appreciate the thread needs to run on updates, not random posts, and non compliant posts will be deleted by moderators without notice.

L2 Members should also refer to the L2 STS-134 Special which is transitioning from PRCB/FRR to MMT/MER level coverage, which will once again drive the upcoming articles on site given the exclusive and live nature of the L2 mission coverage.

Should a scrub be called , this thread will continue until the attempt 3 thread goes live ahead of the next tanking opportunity.
Should Endeavour launch, this thread will continue as Flight Day 1 updates, with new threads for each of the upcoming Flight Days.
Godspeed Endeavour!

During the first attempt, there was noted a small leak on the MLP during tanking. Was this addressed during the delay, or can we expect to hear notes of this again?

He does! You have to see how he frames it: "The launch team is not working any issues
that would prevent us from launching
".
It's the part that I emphasized that allows him not to mention the OMS pressure issue.
