ET is in good shape, but we are watching the prepress (due to new INCS upgrade). We'll know between T-120 seconds and Autosequence Start.

Assuming that's LH2 tank pressurization, as opposed to the LO2 tank...

FYI, CNN is covering this in HD (using NASA's new HD feed) on CNN HD.

It's isn't an upgrade. It's just a card R&R.

The ISS will pass north of the equator in about five minutes, pass due south of KSC over Miami (general area south that is) in 11 minutes, 16 minutes to launch.

Problem is CNN anchors don't shut up.  Hopefully CBC guys will.  L-15 minutes.
