Good Luck Atlantis! Enjoy the short nights!
Seriously y'all I loaded up ORBITER with the new Space Shuttle Fleet 3.93 to pass some time. I noticed that when I got into Orbit something strange was happening.
Turns out that its only been a short time since a 72 hour Sunshine Marathon in the ISS orbit. As such the nights are very short and the Camera views will be VERY nice with all that daytime.
I want to go check out how long night is for FD1 and Landing Day. I will post those est. durations tommorow.
For now I want to show a short Fraps capture made into a GIF for quick posting. It is of horrid quality but shows you a few of the Orbits from the ISS perspective during FD1.Again I'm very sorry about the poor quality but you can basically make out what I'm talking about. I wanted to keep it at 36K to be kind to people with lower connections and not get the mods hounding me

Credit goes to David413 for the Marathon heads up and the Shuttle Fleet Addon.

Remember this is just Simulated. -

I don't know if this is common knowledge, but here's a way to make refreshing active threads easier.
The link for the Launch thread is this:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=8272&posts=12&start=1
If you remove the stuff after "tid=8272" so that the URL looks like this:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=8272
It will automatically take you to the most recent post at the very end of the thread, even if it's on the next page. So if you're like me and will be working during the countdown (but your boss is kind enough to allow you to have the webcast and forum open), all you need to do is mash the F5 button to refresh the thread to the most recent post.
Just be nice to NSF and maybe refresh once every 30 seconds or so.

Coming out of the last hold shortly. Last chance for best wishes. Looks like the WHUM will not be necessary this launch.
Go, Atlantis, go!
