I live in California, so it'll only be 11 PM here when Atlantis hopefully rolls out

Remember that NASA TV has NO live coverage of the roll-out, only the last part, when Atlantis is close to the launch pad, will be live on NASA TV !!!

Let's hope we can do this by the end of the week. If Atlantis isn't hard down on 39B by Monday, the launch schedule will be affected.

With 2 AM EDT being the start time, what is the expected arrival time at the pad? [provided no more storms]

All depends on how fast they go. They vary the speed between 0.5 and 0.9mph, but normally roll at about 0.9, and have on occassion had to stop for a time (you know, clear the stray alligator out the way, deal with technical issues).
It usually takes 5 or 6 hours for the stack to roll out to the pad. That would put us between 7 and 8 am eastern time.

They've been taking about 8 hours out to Pad B...

Well, currently the weather seems to be cooperating for a roll in less than 7 hours.

That's good to know. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Lets just keep hoping that tropical storm stays away too. It would be a shame to get Atlantis out there only to have to roll back in a few days

My "sometimes right" intuition tells me everything will be just fine.

Being new to KSC, I was just wondering where is a good place to watch rollout. Anyone have any suggestions?

Press center car lot is a good place I think.

Ya Suha, just don't get too close to the causeway -- we wouldn't want to mistake you for hotcakes tomorrow morning!

Trend on all the computer guidance is even farther south than the official track which would take it south of the Keys so no real concern...

Take into account the odd bearing cooling and greasing periods.. 8hrs sounds right, with ref to the last roll out

Point taken, Avron...considering Discovery's rollout for STS-121 took 10 hours!
