Looking all relaxed and ready for lift-off soon.
Refreshing 2-3 time an hour for updates.
Could anyone provide me an overview of the launch sequence activities (major milestones) of the astronauts between T-0 seconds and T+8 Minutes? I am aware of some instances (ie swinging of STS system secs before lift-off, reason for roll manevour, ET and SRB seperation, etc etc) but some extra reference material would be available to discuss with media up here in Toronto. Please PM me if you have something that could come in handy. Thanks in advance!

One wonders why they got a rookie astronaut who hasn't flown before to talk to George Diller on TV about what it feels like at MECO, sounds like and what the mood in the Astrovan is like...he hasn't gone up yet! It's a 15-minute ride to the pad, not 30. Took 17 minutes drive the last 4 flights from the O & C building to 39B; and 39A is a minute or two closer.
Count resumed at T-3 hours: 3:42 PM
Crew walkout: 3:48 PM
COnvoy departs for pad: 3:49 PM
Arrival at base of tower: 4:04 PM on the nose

I was gonna say, 30 is ages!

There appears to be a second, larger, convoy heading for the pad behind the astronauts. Does anyone know who or what it is?
