Sticking this question in here:
Will Atlantis be able to launch if the ash cloud stays remains over Europe at the scheduled launch date? I know they need to fly in some equipment into Europe before the launch which may be a problem if the airspace is closed.

Unless it re-erupts, the cloud will be long gone.

And all of those people following her along the tow way (on the hatch-side of Atlantis) were members of the media! She was gorgeous this morning. If you have L2 access, Larry has already posted some pics from this morning.
And the video has been posted. 8 minutes, 40 seconds worth of HD gorgeousness. Simply amazing.

I just heard the weather forecast for the STS-131 landing and I was wondering about the STS-132 rollout. Aside from thunderstorms what are the other constraints to the rollout?

Rain, lightning, temperature and wind are the big four that I can recall off the top of my head.

Still on for 8pm per NTD. Will keep an eye on a change as much as 131 will allow.

Will there be a rollout tomorrow through the delayed sts-131 landing?

If they start at 8 pm local as scheduled, they would likely be at the pad well before the landing.

So no chance for a photo=op of Discovery landing with Atlantis uncovered on the pad, how about we delay the RSS closing a few hours to "not conflict with landing"

?

Who knows, that may be a possibility. (Well, I'm sure somebody knows.

Hello gorgeous 
Cool. Kind of hoping first motion or the early part of the rollout might make it into the live 131 coverage...
Edit: heh, looked like GC had up one of the VAB roof cameras in the flight control room for a second...

The Crawler is moving into the bay now.
And for some reason someone thought it more prudent to focus on the Ares I ML.
