Might this be the crew in the white room?
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).
Per the timeline, this is ASP inspection of the crew cabin.

Decided we'll keep this thread going through RSS retract as per usual as it's another smooth flow.
I'll write a big launch preview and we'll run it about 1am Eastern and start off the launch day thread in good time ahead of the pre-tanking MMT.

The -Y OWP was just retracted. That leaves only the +Y OWP that extends from the FSS to be retracted.

No. My guess would be that is the spouses getting the traditional launch pad tour b their astronaut husbands.

They aren't, that's for sure. Unless you have certain credentials, you can't get to the pad surface, let alone the White Room.

Yes.
Via KSC Facebook:
"The two Solid Rocket Booster recovery ships departed from port at 4 p.m. EDT and will make their way to the SRB recovery location about 140 miles northeast of Kennedy Space Center. At 5:30 p.m., NASA Television and
www.nasa.gov/ntv will air live coverage of the Rotating Service Structure rolling back to reveal space shuttle Atlantis. The countdown will resume from the T-11 hour mark at 9:55 p.m., the three shuttle fuel cells will be activated at 11:05 p.m., and the launch pad will be cleared at 11:55 p.m."
