  Yes, we heard that too here. Thought it was just broadcast at the Press Site. Humorous that it went out live to everyone. Oh well, just making sure everything is operating for actual launch coverage.

  Had the same for STS-119, they just changed titles and some graphics.  It's a quite nice improvement from their old one!
