This has got to be one of the most boring and unexpressive press conferences ever. They seem to have lost all passion since Griffin said they were not going to be relevant to the launch date.

The media there aren't helping. Back-slapping boring questions.

Then, right at the end, they come out with a good closing statement...saying they have been a harsh judge to the RTF efforts, appreciated the opportunity and will officially take their green light to Griffin "in the right context."

The most definitive remark came as an answer to a question by Bill Harwood (CBS/SpaceflightNow). He asked whether slipping to September would be a good measure to take (a step forward; a safer choice).

Covey said No, it would not, because NASA needs to actually fly the Shuttle in order to see whether many of the improvements have worked. The only way to know is to fly.

They will present their final report to NASA and Administartor Griffin tomorrow for the Flight Readiness Review which starts Wednesday.

Everything looks good for July 13 I would say.

That's got to be the surprise of the meeting, Harewood asking a normal question.

Yep, Simon.

And NASA_Twix, I won't start for any journalist being disrespected on here, so cut that out.
