I watched the RSS rollback from Port Canaveral on the 1st attempt of STS-134, after those two nasty hail & lightning storms that evening. Even though the launch got scrubbed the following day, seeing the shuttle get revealed like that was awesome and I am glad I got to experience that.

Those tweetup folks have an amazing view!

Feel like the weather fits the atmosphere

BTW, anyone observing at the pad, we should be venting to the flare stack soon.

How do they remove the plugs on the forward RCS thrusters after the RSS is retracted?

They come off during launch, Often see them fly off from the minicam replay inside the Shuttle.

Beautiful!!!! If a bit soggy.

Nah! Our friends across the pond simply refer to that as "a trifle moist"
