Hard to belive that this is the final shuttle countdown
It got underway 5 July at 1pm EDT or 1800 UTC it will weather permitting end in an on time liftoff Friday morning at 11:36 AM EDT 15:36 UTC. This mission with 4 crew on board instead of the normal 6 or 7 will haul up the hill a years supply of food and other supplies for the international space station. This will be the last manned space flight that the United States will fly for the near future. No issues are being worked by the launch team but the weather for Friday at launch time doesn't look good, rain and high winds aloft are likely. Things get much better 48 hours or Sunday than on Saturday. NASA has until July 10th to get the shuttle into space or face a delay until August 15, provided a Delta IV on the 14th is able to launch one of the new updated GPS navigation satellites.
