  Just to pass on, nothing being worked at this time. Atlantis is behaving herself.

  Good to hear, but the whole vehicle needs to be behave!
  

  
  Yes, the whole stack
  
  There's that SRB aft skirt heater GN2 purge temp which dropped to 68 deg F for 31 minutes, but they've got a contingency plan if that happens again.
  
  Bar that, nadda!

  T-3 hours and counting.

  
  George Diller notes how smooth the count is going....and that's an understatement. There's been smooth counts, but always chatter on the LCC and MMT loops (which we copy into L2), but I've never known it to be this smooth.
  
  (Sorry if I just jinxed something)

• Oops, confirmation of Atlantis not retiring after 125. I don't believe PAO have announced that yet (unless I missed it, but of course, it's true):

• Gotta leave for a while, so if someone else could take over images, that'd be awesome!

• Where are the really high images being taken from? The top of the VAB or helicopter?
