I'm still keeping my fingers (toes, eyes) crossed for a 2:45 ET liftoff. How about you?

70% chance that weather will cause a No-Go...We shall see.

Be positive! That means a 30% chance of good weather.

Weather is in the green right now. NASA TV is streaming on my comuter. All I need now is some popcorn.

Go Atlantis!

Astronauts are climbing aboard. Saying a little prayer.

Oh yes! My eyes are still wide, my heart is still dancing, and I am still grinning from ear to ear.

Go Atlantis!

Beautiful launch (at least, from my fuzzy video feed).

Now I have to calm down and get back to work. Right... ha! Launch days are low productivity days in my world.

Heh...I really didn't think it was going to go today, so I went into work at 8:45 this morning.

...I just got home an hour ago!

Whoops!

It was a good evening though!

I was in class during launch. Had it been Friday I could have watched it live.

I watched it at work. Everyone in my office huddled around my computer to see it. My husband had it on his computer too and had a dozen of his co-workers watching it with him. It was the first time he was able to get a NASA TV feed at his work. (They have layers upon layers of banned internet features/links/etc.) Yay!

For the last launch someone phoned me at T-30 seconds and I told them off - 'A space shuttle is launching in 30 seconds, I'll call you back' and hung up. The guy was so confused. Haha... We all know my priorities.

Wheel stop at 08:08:08 Central Time. Well Done Atlantis!

Next stop Hubble!
