I understand that a number of tasks had been done last attempt.. so it could be shortened... i.e. did not need to be redone

How long until we know whether this cell is working properly or not?

It's been running since Wednesday morning, from what I understand. What's critical for complete mission success is for all three fuel cells to work properly for the entire mission.

Now that same page says "Fueling Underway". Now let's hope they got all the water out of the ET stringers...if there's some water left, wouldn't ice begin to form?

If I recall correctly, the water was on the opposite side of the ET from the orbiter near the intertank access door. So no concerns for debris impacting the orbiter from there.

Cool, thanks. That's good to know. Now off to bed and I hope to wake up to a good countdown and launch. I notice the camera is fixated on the orbiter nose and intertank area, does the main camera feed change at random, or is there a set sequence (i.e. change from nose to tail every 5 minutes)?
