May I have your attention please? Off-mike or on?
Hmm, might be related to Ascent Flight Director Norm Knight's call to NTD Jeff Spaulding. Lost audio after that.

I think that's the announcement made to visitors on-site at KSC (i.e., in the blast danger area) about the exhaust cloud, etc. Just forgot to mute that bit for the TV audience.

Well that was very strange... the female voice (didn't catch what console she was) said they weren't ready for something, then it all went quiet.

Currently no-go for RTLS weather -- if I heard it correctly there's a shower inside the 20 nautical mile radius around the SLF.

Currently no-go for RTLS weather -- if I heard it correctly there's a shower inside the 20 nautical mile radius around the SLF.
Actually the area around the SLF is clear of precip at this time based on the latest radar image through the NOAA Melbourne site. The concern is there are thunderstorms now developing north and northeast of Orlando and they are about 45 miles away and may move into the 20 naut. mile circle of the RTLS SLF zone during the liftoff or at the RTLS time (about 30 - 45 minutes after launch), this will be a dynamic call today.
Yes I am aware there is a weather thread here, I have that open on my computer as well, I just wanted to provide some insight into the matter here.

We were starting to get swamped heavily, so removed guests as pre-empted.
Please also note, no more than two images per post.

Can someone please talk about the IPR that was just logged, and why STS-125 came up in conversation?

There was some chatter right now over the comms about a safety cable hanging around, but I didn't quite catch if it was in Atlantis herself or on the pad (I presume the first) Did anyone pay more attention to it than me?
Besides, launch time is in-plane time:14:45:30 pm EST.

SRO's comms seem to be deficient, that or the console officer's not listening to NTD.
