They've got several vehicles and people on foot pacing the crawler, plus security folks on the MLP itself, and everyone is talking back and forth. They don't need the chopper folks to land just because they may have seen something suspicious.

Backed up? It's supposed to be coming towards the camera unless it is facing the wrong way
Yes, you're right (forgot about the orientation).
In any case, things were delayed and the crawler has stopped.

OK, on the move again, but slowly.
And the chopper lifted off a little earlier.

With the various video feed shut downs, will they have footage up until they get to the pad?

Expect the crawler to stop every now and then.. the bearings need to cool down.. and some lube is required...

Last weather I saw the winds aren't bad at all right now around the Keys. <30 mph with the eye to make landfall in about 3 hours. I think this decision will be looked at as a great one to bring her back to the pad given what I am seeing so far.

Yep. Starting to look like Mr. Liebach made the right decision.

I really hope by now she is back on the pad with the RSS enclosed around her... I also hope that a lot of the connections have been made.. that means, if tomorrow we see a half day, but hoping for a full day as there will be no storm comming... finish connections on Thurday and check out the Pad.. so piros can go back in and repress can take place, maybe even do some charging of the payload (Friday).. but that mean some work in parellel.. now that will leave us on Sat, to start the count, or start the count late on Friday.. L-3 so that make Monday/Tuesday as an option..( if some Holds in the count can be shortened, as a number of processes in the count have already been done and some systems gone through some of the count without issues, so the probability of hitting an issue is lower (new issues cannot be ruled out) but the amount of time reserved in the count for problem resolution can be shortened, thus I think we can get back to T-11 a lot quicker, but still do all the needed steps (some may be complete) and testing that they are complete.. I see Wednesday as a delay in the process based on the above... i.e two days for pad reset and 3 days for the count.. Note that I am not saying remove any item that is in the process (while the clock is not running) and not asking for any change while the clock is running...
Can it be done?? (after today - its a whole new MMT...
)

I'm sure most of you have heard, but Hale said they're reconsidering the daylight launch requirement since it could mean the difference of launching Atlantis later next month or early next year. He wants the engineers to take a good hard look to see if they can expand the October window by a couple of days and even if the requirement is even truly necessary after seeing good (though not perfect) performance on tanks 121 and 119 for STS-114 and STS-121 respectively. Launching after Soyuz TMA-8 returns would mean a predawn launch and the first night operation since Endeavour's STS-113 launch in November 2002. Of course that was just talk going on at KSC earlier today while Atlantis was heading for the VAB so what will or won't come of that remains to be seen. Either way there is going to be some serious investigation into what the options are and what can be accomplished with or without the lighted launch.

It doesn't have a website, any CCAFS webcams related to NASA missions go thru KSC websites. But anyways, just as KSC website is down, so would any CCAFS website

Any word on when KSC will resume operations? Hope everyone's okay.
