Mike mentions the vehicle is "alive" -

Referencing quotes from astro Woody Spring on arriving at the pad:

"You go out to the pad," Spring, "and you think, 'Wow, this is a live vehicle.' She's hissing and belching. It's got liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, minus 320 and minus 340. She's squealing and making noises.

"That vehicle is alive."
