Yeah, you know this Philip, but for those that don't....MMT Go/No Go for PRSD loading was going to be based on the entry clearance. So that'll now be "no go" for loading, and hold on that part of S0007 until after a successful deorbit burn, then prepare Endeavour/127 for the roll to Pad 39A after the repairs are complete.

Don't mean to put anyone to sleep but since this is a quiet day on the Shuttle front I am just posting some nice screen grabs as I notice them..

They need to learn how to use the HD mic. Caught Scooter mumbling something about "stupid Americans" while the mic was hot.
Scooter basically said something along the lines of "I wonder if Koichi's awake yet, he's probably over there like, 'stupid americans'"
Of course the 125 crew all found that to be amusing. I did too

Latest article, included the money shot image of Atlantis' flight deck from something like 500mb of raw hi res STS-125 mission images on L2.

How true. Beautiful images.

Robert Pearlman with collectSPACE asked about the 11R event recorded earlier in the mission...Leroy Cain says that the late inspection showed no MMOD impact on 11R (or any other panel).

NTV is buffering out for me. John 44 should be recording it anyway.
Leroy: This mission celebrates the space shuttle's capabilities.
Too early to know about Friday's weather.
Would have done a system powerdown anyway to get the additional day (EOM+3).
Second ASA failure means land at White Sands or Edwards on next rev (which we know). Depends on the kinda of ASA failure. (Will be writing up some of the ASA stuff, as we're over 20 presentations on this on L2).
Robert asks about RCC 11R - was a potential impact. Didn't see anything on 11R that indicated an impact (so it wasn't that white spot on the NTV coverage). Mentions the noises in the structure (ghost triggers we've written about before). WLE IDS did its job.

As noted earlier with the extra powerdowns, they are close to getting an extra weather contingency day. That might allow the "pick-em" day to slide from Saturday (EOM+1) to Sunday (EOM+2); however, that decision hasn't been made yet. (We'll know more during and after the entry team's shift tomorrow.)

Didn't see the very beginning, but early in the briefing, they talked about protecting +3 days for landing on Monday at KSC if necessary.

Yep, got that. Makes sense too.

They would have the option of using EOM+3 as a "systems day" once the cryo margins get there...

Listening to the air-to-ground, sounds like the upcoming event is audio only.

The vivid colors in this picture made me post this. Great shots we've seen from this flight, too bad I couldn't cover any of it, just bad timing with school and all.
Thanks for all who have covered this mission, it's one for the history books for sure!

Obviously from the long silence, that was a private event; crew now getting ready for the daily HD video downlink.

LOL, Scott Altman jokingly put some gum under one of the panels on the flight deck.

Great to hear the President show a lot of support in the space program! He did mention about the new NASA Administrator so I think that will be coming soon! Hope this mission helped the president in realizing how much NASA does and I can only hope that it helps in an extended shuttle program.

Yeah, one could read a lot into that comment around 4:00 if you wanted.
