  Most excellent Chris.
  
  So anxious for this launch.
  
  For the non-L2 members, lots of juicy tid-bits, details & facts for what's going on with Ares and Constellation: a must-read article.

  In PHSF:
  

  
  Is this the storage rack were the scientific instruments are stored or the old Hubble service docking mechanism? I just don't want to get the payload bay components confused. THank you.

• B-roll video of the rollover was shown a few minutes ago, just after the sign-off call to the shuttle crew; should be replayed again at the top of the hour as an item in the Video File.

  Should be for STS-127, STS-125's MLP is in the VAB.

  Posted it for the fact that the pad has been cleared, also this MP will be used for Ares I-X next and then retired.

  As Ron said, MLP-1 is for Ares I-X.  First going to Pad B before it will clear for the STS-400 shuttle.  (The MLP for 400/127 is already occupied with the tank/boosters already integrated).

• Okay, thanks.  I'm still reading up on a lot of the Ares I-X stuff.
