  We are still T-11 hours and HOLDING!  RSS Retraction to the PARK position will come in about 3 hours time, and for the time being, a live shot on NASA TV!  If the shot holds, I'll provide screenshots of the event as well as a video of it.  Let's see what kind of coverage, if any, we get.
  

  2 hours actually. RSS Rotation is scheduled for 5 pm EDT, 1 hour and 52 minutes from now.
  
  And according to the NASA TV schedule, coverage of the Rotation is planned.

• Ford: Wouldn't be the first time those milestone pages were off. S0007.200 barchart has RSS Rotation between 5 pm and 6 pm EDT.
  
  Not only that, during this morning's Countdown Status Briefing, NTD Charlie Blackwell-Thompson stated that RSS Rotation was 5 pm.

  Thanks.  Hadn't had a chance to look at the barchart nor listen to any of the countdowns.  Again, thanks for the clarification.

• Also, I've received a HD 12.2mbps feed image from a C-Band satellite.  It's beautiful.  I'll see if I can get one with the RSS open later tonight!
  
  _{Thanks to the guys at SpaceVidcast for it.}

• Just watched the SRB recovery ships leave the port.  They passed Grills at 3:50pm.

• FYI, I'm doing occasional screenshots over in the NASA HDTV thread; the HD service came up on the C-band satellite on Friday.  The answer to your next question is there too

  OWP's ahve been extended:
  

  Retracted! Extended are when they're against the orbiter! They were retracted around 11 am this morning.

• I hate the OWPs for that reason alone, DaveS.
