I wounder if they will fly over JSC this time. They are closer on this route than they were during the last flight.

Sounds like a long day for all. I assume they will unload Atlantis and get into the OPF as soon as possible. Long night also.

They could, but there are likely different factors at play this time.

Yes, If I remember correctly they had bad weather to the East and would not have been able to fly LA through too KSC. This flight I am sure they want to get to KSC today.
I am sure a lot of people around the Houston area will see it fly over at the 15000 ft.

Howdy all. Here are some pictures I took as they landed this morning! You can see all the lovely C-5's in the background. It is a bit overcast here but it is clearing nicely. ENJOY!
Very nice! She looks great even in overcast weather.

My Sergeant Major and I were wondering the same thing. Why the temperature and pressure concerns when those limits are exceeded by a significant degree (order of magnitude) during missions?
Perhaps the power issues have something to do with it? Sensitive electronics not protected without APU power, etc. etc.?

Yup, I noticed. Broke the cardinal forum rule -- read first, post later. Sorry, no caffeine this AM. Diet Dew, anyone?
Already removed my post. Thinking about changing my profile title from "Still Kinda Cluless" to just plain old regular "Cluless". :-)

Pathfinder was following I-10 more or less...not sure they want to get too close to the "stuff" building up around Houston.

V212 (the airway they are taking to LFK) takes them right along I-10 so I wouldn't read much into the turn. Not saying they won't go to JSC, but the path they are taking matches their flight plan so far (which does not include JSC.)
Showers are forming over Houston, with thunderstorms just northeast, so they'll need to do a LOT of manuevering in and near precip if they do.
