Congrats to the team, and just to let everyone know, the information on L2 was brought here by Chris less than 5 minutes after it arrived on L2. Thanks, Chris!

Hot damn! So we looking at the 7th right now? Is it too early to start the cheering thread? Argh! I want to take my two boys to see a launch. Guess its not going to be this one.

Only took eight cycles to close the doors, with six "prods" with the special tool on the end of the pole. Retraction was smooth and may not of needed the tool after all (which is good as it shows it might all go well during closure on orbit too). -

Spectacular news!! Thank you Chris once again! My hat is off to you and EVERYONE who spent so much time keeping us posted with up to the minute news since December.
I just re-booked our flights (4th or 5th time?? LOL!) so I'll have my wife, two children and NASA VIP invitations in hand. We get to Cocoa Beach Wednesday night. -

Pleasure, though I'm just the monkey with the typewriter. It's our large base of engineers and managers on L2 and the site who are providing the info (in this case literally live) who are enabling us to turnaround status in real time. It's all down to them.
What happens next is we keep this update thread going through S0007 up to launch day, when we head into launch attempt and flight day specific update sections. -

As of Monday morning processing info on L2 (literally as in right now): No constraints to heading into S0007 later today (0 Cat I's)

Countdown looks good. CONUS and TAL sites weather looks good Thursday-Saturday.
However due to the coldfront that Rob mentioned they're going with a 60% chance that KSC weather prohibiting launch on Thursday.
KSC weather will improve greatly Friday and Saturday, with 20% chance of KSC weather prohibiting launch on both days. -

Given the different situation on ISS since December it's not surprising, but I missed them going to 11+1+2 from 11+2+2 two months ago. Perhaps tomorrow we'll get a little elaboration on the launch attempt philosophy given that some days could be FD4-only rendezvous.
