T minus 2 hours.....
Stardate 4302.5
This is about to happen!!!!
This is what we all can hope happens at 10:39 am EST. The only thing holding it back right now is the filling of the tanks. If anything is up with that fuel sensor, this should tell the tale. And everythign seems to be going smoothly. Fueling is good, weather is great, and the Astronauts sit atop, waiting... Be sure to watch where you can...

An interesting note from NASA:
The Space Shuttle goes from standing still on the launch pad to more than 17,000 miles per hour in just over eight minutes. That means the astronauts go 2,000 miles per hour faster every minute.
