The strike is what is called a near field strike. It didn't hit the tower. The strike shows up on our system as as a low voltage spike. This happens quite often.

Okay cool. Let's hope it steers clear of Pad B for the next 7 days! Everything still looking good as far as countdown milestones go?

Just a stopped-open camera overexposing the lights. They don't put the xenons on till the RSS is open.

Yeah I feel dumb now. I didn't bother to notice the dim lighting on the second image until AFTER I posted it hahaha. Yeah that one's on me. I guess they'll open the RSS sometime Tuesday afternoon?

Has anyone heard whether or not any of the three major US TV networks will be doing this one? Seemed like ABC was the prominent one for 121.

My friend Lindsay said it was on C-Span last time without any annoying news commentary. Just pure NASA is how it should be.

T - 27 h and holding for 4 hours to test vehicle's pyrotechnic initiator controllers
and Spacetech1031 and his colleagues have it covered.. guess we will hear feedback once the shift is over... then on to cryogenic loads at 4am.. T-19 at noon EST... and we are back to where we where a week or so ago...
just to confirm we only have a 4 hour hold at T-19 or was this an early start? HQ states -"Resume countdown (10 p.m.)"??

Darn shame I might be 30 seconds behind on NASA TV for the launch since I'll have to watch the webcast of it in class instead of live TV. Oh well. Any word from Roger on latest processing ops?

I feel your pain, man. I'll be teaching a class, but might have to momentarily find parallels between English and a space shuttle launch, directing my students to NASA TV via my laptop. Shouldn't be too much of a stretch should it?

"T-19 at noon EST"
We here in the states use Daylight Saving Time - so it'll be noon EDT.

ALWAYS count on cnn and c-span. c-span more than cnn because they (c-span) don't have the news commentary and the titles that take up half the screen.

Would it be C-SPAN 1, C-SPAN 2, or C-SPAN 3 ?
(it's best to check all 3, as their scheduling can change at the last minute depending on whatever 'hot' topic is developing at that time.)
