• Great article, Chris!
  
  By the way, I just spotted a small error. The article says Atlantis has been sitting out at Launch Pad 39B, but I think that should be 39A

  Yep, same as before - winds briefly gusted to about 20-30mph, and about 1/3" of rain... No severe weather.

  I like the spray gif. Nice work by Jok on that.

• Atlantis has been powered up for tests today. Meanwhile, they've tested ET-126's connector for glass cracks. Connector was fine.

• excellent so far. Going to be crazy here with three launches real close to each other. Hope those engineers get a bonus for their efforts!

  The KSC shuttle status is mentioning troubleshooting on Fuel Cell #2 (IPR 0113).  Do we have any information on this?

  
  Per L2:
  Fuel Cell #2 Voltage Increase will be put down to a UA............due to minor regulator flow in the presence of residual O2 in the manifold.

  Not UA(Unexplained Anomaly), but EA(Explained Anomaly).

• Anyone having dreams about LH2 Feed-through connectors yet?

• Is that object to the very left in this image a Crawler?

• Why would the crawler be there if that is so? Is that normal?
