The lighting at MECO/ET sep again interesting -- watching the orbiter shadow clear the tank provided a good idea how quickly the +X maneuver does that...

So sad that this can be Atlantis' last launch. I'll be even sadder for Discovery's...I so its first flight launch in 1984.

Anyone noticed any debris event during the launch?
And who's CAPCOM today? Never heard them using "you are" before when communicating with the orbiter.

Tail only control not required. No changes to published procedures and MCC approves change to OPS 105 when ready.

And that’s that! What an awesome launch! Thanks for a beautiful last hoorah, Atlantis!

I’m feeling kinda bittersweet right now...

Had the same feeling.
Reminder to all we're now into FD1 coverage, so it's still a live update thread....but I can understand the reactions, so it's cool.

New TIG 00/00:38:15 for OMS 2. MCC likes onboard targets.

One minute to spreading, will be able to hear, but not talk.
Nice -- PAO Kyle Herring providing an explanation of spreading.

I saw some small bits of something go under (from the camera POV) and toward the tip of the right wing well after SRB sep. It could have been ice from the aft even. Very clean.
