Yeah I kind of thought since the one who operated it this morning started at 6am this morning, that they will just return it later.

It will be there until a few days or so before launch. They keep it there so they don't have to make the entire trip again in the event of a rollback being called.

Only one more time Atlantis will rollout to the pads.. she's been a good vehicle, and will be sad to see her go.
Orbiter
Wow. I completely forgot about that. Today (I say this knocking on wood, holding a rabbits foot, and throwing salt over my shoulder) was Atlantis' penultimate rollout.

Thats seems to be about it... nothing left I guess but to tighten a few bolts (still can't fathom how this entire stack sits on only a handfull of those little white posts)...
There are no bolts to tighten. The MLP literally just sits on top of the pedestals with a large guide pin in the center of each pad/pedestal.

Try scrolling back to pages 5 and 6 of this very thread. You'll find the answer right there.

No, it comes down to negotiations with the people who bought the Atlas and Delta for the launch. If they agree to slip because they see that the SSP is "more important", then woohoo.. if not, they have the range.
