The Astronaut Support Person, or ASP, is inside Atlantis' cockpit configuring all the switches to the correct position for launch.
The PAO twitter feed is probably going to be behind the "feeds" that we get from the insiders today.
Kay Hire is the ASP today and she's been doing comm checks and the pre-ingress switch reconfig in the crew module. Some of those switches won't be configured for launch until after the crew is strapped in.

Amen to that. He's rather old and I thought had retired form commentary. But he is WAY WAY better than the younger ones, Allarad Beutel and that ditz Candrea Thomas.

Are the filming an IMAX movie about this flight? That explains the large boom mic. I was wondering why the heck we were looking at an overhead shot of them boarding and couldn't see the walkout like we usually do!

Yes, with a release date for 2010. I was wondering why they did not show the ground level shot as well.

Sorry for butting in, but why is the nasa.gov flight data file page still on STS-119? No checklists for STS-125? Would have loved to see the EVA checklist.
