Bill H on the Volcano cloud for TAL:
Mike M: Looking at search and rescue forces, shouldn't be a problem. Keeping an eye on it.
On last flight - what about STS-135:
Mike M: It is the last planned flight on the current budget guidance. The possibility exists, someone could tell us to do it.
Todd asking about Atlantis' last flight too:
Mike L: She started production 30 years ago, so it's been a long career for Atlantis. After launch there might be a little tear in people's eyes, but also some celebration (after landing).
On how much processing for STS-335:
Mike L: Waiting to know about STS-135. Manifest is very fluid right now. Will process heavy and hard when she comes home.

Marcia on how strong is the hope for STS-135.
Mike L: I know there's a lot of hope we get another hope, but there's a lot of realism that's not the plan. Atlantis team loves that ship, so you bet they want another flight.
Mike M: You just never know what's going to happen.
How many people have worked on Atlantis for the 132 flow:
Mike L: It's a heck of a lot of people. Not sure.
Mike M: We need to start planning a crew for STS-135 in about June. It's a soft line, depending on mission content.
Waiting on STS-133 and STS-134 schedules in June. There's not any magic about that date.

On windows and DDO from Chris G - Nate, wave!
Mike: Through to 18th on the range, could have been longer for the beta angle. Not worth losing content by launching in June with lower crew size on ISS.
June 29 (more like July) would be when they come back if they can't launch by May 18. No impact to next flights if they slipped.

On July launch ISS berthing ports from Chris G:
Mike M: Would have to reshuffle. Would cause a fair bit of rework. July slip would allow for that work.
More repeat questions from someone else on the Ku checks.
Presser over.

We'll see how it pans out, but we'll either keep this thread going until tanking, or start the launch day thread with RSS retract.

At least a few of them. I saw Piers Sellers and Chris Cassidy (who was the ASP on the last launch and wouldn't be surprised if he's doing the same this time).
