Beeker it looks more like they have lost the keys again in those pics:pac:

LL i notice You did not include the model with no payload doors{He beat it with his baseball bat when a launch was scrubbed one time:pac:}

Just heard them saying weather is still 70% and for thecommander&Sept it should be very hot.

Edwards is fine,main concern about possible cloud over KSC at launch time and minor concerns about the Transatlantic abort sites, but overall still very optomistic.:)
