Everyone knows I think Twitter is fad that will soon be destroyed by spammers, but one of the best things they do is to have a PAO sat in on the FRR sending out those updates. Very good idea.
If someone could keep an eye on anything interesting at the FRR presser, it'd be appreciated as I'm still writing up my article (awesome stuff on the ET, but a lot).

I didn't catch anything relevant to STS-132, as the outside focus is still on the end of the Shuttle era, but there were some good manifest and policy questions at the end -- Bill Gerstenmaier's answer to Irene Klotz's continuing resolution question was a nice primer. For anyone interested, keep an eye out for the video clip from John44.

I kept one eye and ear on it live and I just couldn't keep up with all they were saying. But I will watch again later tonight with both eyes and both eyes, because it did sound they were covering a lot of big-picture material. Thanks John44 for staying up late

They did cover a lot of big picture stuff. Well worth the watch.

No. There were some hail indications to the west, but nothing near KSC itself.

No...don't even mention hail.
Not sure wich mission was scrubbed a couple years ago from hail damage, but that was my previous attempt to see a launch.
No lord please....

That would have been STS-117 (hail damaged). Also the last mission I tried to catch! I'm coming down (from Indiana) for 132.

Quick question: what is the ISS designation for this flight (i.e. STS-131 was ULF-4). I haven't been able to find it. When this was supposed to be SPP, it was 9A.1 IIRC.

STS-132 is ISS ULF4, STS-131 was 19A.

Most recent IIRC was STS-107 for ascent/re-entry , he was the CAPCOM saying
'Columbia Houston, UHF comm check' when the accident happen..
EDIT: He also was descent CAPCOM for STS-122

He was Weather CapCom for 122 (same as last flight and others; 122 Ascent and Entry CapCom was Jim Dutton)...he's also been an ISS CapCom, too.
