Lots to write up from L2, including reports the pad was damaged by Atlantis during launch. Writing it up while we check for impacts to downstream flights, though it's worth remembering we're not talking about flying bricks this time, but Fondu Frye concrete, which one assumes they can just pour in and replace reasonable quickly. Several lines also damaged (probably by the liberated concrete).

I find it quite appropriate that hardware used for the first on-orbit satellite servicing mission is now being used for the last one.

I heartily agree.
My first thought when I heard that was amazement that it is 25 year old hardware, then I remembered that the incredibly complex machine that is carrying it is even older.
Mindboggling!

Latest report is that everything is back on the timeline.
As a largely data free observation, I get the feeling that this crew is under more time pressure than usual in the early stages of a mission and has been performing magnificently just to keep up.
