One official note is PWR (who are the SSME guys) say they "might" still make July 8. We'll keep a close eye on it.
"THIS is why we test".
Absolutely agree on the latter -- it may be a side effect of the test, but it's an effective screen for issues such as the one's seen during the first tankings for the last two missions. And as ChrisG noted it may still be possible to make the current schedule.

Nice to see that the GUCP was absolutely rock solid this time. While I was there didn't see ANYTHING on the leak detectors.

That's great to hear. A little TLC goes a LONG way

Remember here that Mike Moses specifically mentioned in the 134 post-landing presser that they had "2 days contingency" on paper but that was only minimal work planned for the week following the Tanking Test and that there's more wiggle room in reality than on paper. This might not be a schedule hit at all if that's true.
As long as that can run in parallel with other activities (like payload install, TCDT, etc.)...
But I'm sure we'll get an official assessment before too long. (And if not today, it'll come up tomorrow.)
"minimal work" -- not no work.

It's going to be interesting to see how it goes (although I guess it always is if you're a junkie like me).

Well the tank seems to be behaving. I haven't seen anything that 'popped out' at me

Great work with the images Robert. Waiting on confirmation of detanking.
