Those for Discovery were put back after draining.
Looks like the ET and SRBs are going to LA as well:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/12/science-center-to-secure-space-shuttle-external-tank.html
...and if they power down they cant open/close them
And did Atlantis already have its display for media -opportunity, as Discovery did (with NSF reporters crawling inside the crew module), or has it been cancelled?
Atlantis' "media day" will be in the spring; Endeavour's is next, possibly in February. Discovery was powered down for its "media day" too.
I guess the MEDS displays can be powered up separately, then.
When they give the mdeia tour of Atlantis, I assume the lights in the cabin are on, so when they say power down for the final time, that doesnt mean lights inside right?
