I hope the video will be available here afterwards. I have to leave home at 11 in the morning and that translates to just before the first deorbit burn opportunity.

I think NASAcast will have it for you.

Could we please keep this thread to updates only? Also, orbiter current position and attitude is totally irrelevant. It will change.

Here are the De-Orbit Landing Pad Data and Groundtracks for the orbit 186/rev 1 landing opportunity to KSC.
Weather looks good for the first attempt with light winds straight down the runway. Current forecast is for 7 miles visibility, few clouds at 2000 feet, and winds from 330 at 4 to 6 knots.

Nice music on that crew background piece. All they need now are some spiff outfits and they'll be like, fly!

Nawp, not the one.
It was a production instrumental piece, with maybe 10 seconds of live video of each of the crew standing right frame gazing at the camera, with their resume bullet listed on the left. They each wore a nondescript tan polo shirt. Maybe the same one for all I know.
NASA PAO should check the outfits from "Enterprise". Wa-a-ay fly.

The only noted weather concern relayed from the capcom to the crew is the possibility of ground fog...the last SLF observation posted online shows a temp to dewpoint spread of 3 degrees. (RH of 88%)
