If you've not seen this video they are playing now, drop everything and watch it. This video is stunning, not ashamed to say it had me tearing up.
Damn Im at work, will it be on again or show up online?
It'll be on NTV's youtube page. Can someone link for Brett? I've got two many windows open and my PC is creaking

and this shot.
Seen it a lot of times now, but gets me every time.
Is that wake turbulence we see on the ship at liftoff?
Common sight on airplanes but not sure about Space Shuttles.

It's not wingtip vortices/wake turbulence (which you see often on landing). It's this:

Also, they opened one of the N2N CBM petals as it didn't close completely on the 1st attempt...are getting ready to close that again.

It's that ending, with Rob in full form and the music (anyone know what song that is?) and this shot.

She looks SO proud when she is launching, as if as she passes through that she is saying "Nothing will hold me back from spreading my wings" Such a sad week to see her career ending.

Was thinking vortex while I said wake turbulence.
Use of language - not an English native speaker now back in my home country.
Thank you for the link. This is what I was referring to without knowing the particulars.

It's being downlinked to here; probably going to clean it up for broadcast on NTV...it does look like HD, but not sure about broadcast before FD highlights.

The petal was closed, but looks similar to the initial attempt.

Need to make this go viral.
Repost on FB, Twitter, blogs, etc.
Once lost they will not come again.
The same as Concorde, I want to see them flying. Not in museums.

Uh-oh, I hope we don't have an issue with a petal - that could be classed as a critical system, since N2N is the primary berthing location for all commercial vehicles.

Well, it could be me looking at it wrong, too.

The biggest point of this mission was publishing the last transfer list
Added 9006 (over the course of shuttle to station history): Sandy Magnus, to get her on the right side of the hatch
I really love the amount of humour that's occurred during this final mission, I wonder if perhaps if they weren't laughing.. they'd be crying. 
Ooh, would love to see that list of 9006 items :-). Too bad they don't post the XLS files with the exe packages.

Las Vegas - Nevada in view in shot 1.
Sweeping over the States.
Wonder if they could see the Light from the Luxor from the ISS?
