Well it seems that everyone did what they needed to.
The shuttle went off without a hitch, or so it seems.
Tons of video to go through now, checking everything, but I am sure all went well.
Good to know, Great to see, Hope to see more....
An oddity I stumbled upon:
Beyond
The rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

The words to the Original Star Trek Theme, never used...
I wonder why?? Not really, but anyway, back to real life now...

Pre Flight STS-114......Again
As I write this it is a little of 1h20m to launch and I hope to God it all works.

From NASA:
Mission: International Space Station Flight LF1
Shuttle: Discovery
Launch Pad: 39B
Launch: July 26, 2005
Landing: August 7, 2005
Duration: 12 days
Orbital Insertion Altitude: 122 nautical miles
Orbit Inclination: 51.60°
Space Shuttle Discovery is ready for liftoff atop Launch Pad 39B. Approximately 500,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and hydrogen now fill the vehicle's orange External Tank. The propellants will drive Discovery's three powerful main engines as the Space Shuttle rumbles into orbit. All systems aboard the ship are functioning normally and ready for launch.
Launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-114, NASA's Return to Flight mission, is set for today at 10:39 a.m. EDT.
The chance of Kennedy weather cooperating for the launch is now at 80 percent.
