I don't know where I saw it, but in one of these threads someone posted something to the effect that yesterday's ISS reboost for Progress phasing was going to force the STS-122/1E mission to rendezvous on flight day 4. That's not true. Here's what today's ISS status report says:
"Reboost Update: The ISS reboost yesterday by the twin SM main engines was successfully conducted on time (7:42pm EST). Purpose of the 1m 58s long maneuver burn was to establish the correct phasing conditions for 27S launch and the STS-122/1E launch season (FD3 rendezvous)."

Thanks Chris C for clearing that incorrect info up! I thought I heard that info as well and I am so glad the ISS reboost has no ill effect on the STS 122 mission!

As per L2: "LH2 tank vent scheduled for 3rd shift Sunday no earlier than 03:00."

Thanks
For those wondering why this installation took the best part of the weekend, they had wire splicing issues on Saturday morning.
Tank vent was delayed to 10am. One of the helmetball fans too....(I assume whatever team that is will suggest if he's a KSC or MAF guy)

Most likely a MAF guy... Louisiana State University is west of New Orleans, in Baton Rouge. And they won the national championship in the Louisiana Superdome. But you can't tell for sure, because LSU has alumni at multiple centers.

Ah, College Football. Thanks Jorge.
Can't confirm, but going off the webcam, there's not been any activity in shot, so we might be able to assume they are into the venting stage/leak checks.

Well I wrote 16 of them, but I've got 21 to beat (ET-124's repairs after hail damage)

New angle I believe, and if I'm not mistaken, you can see the plug on the installed external connector in the middle of the image:

Looks like they've closed off the connector, I'm not sure if it's permanent or not (looks temporary..):

They have leak and electrical tests on the schedule before they spray the foam back on.
