Well it was good ride.. But like all good things it must come to the end... To me the biggest accomplishment was for the first time in human history we built something in space (unless the Lanteans already did it)..

God Speed Atlantis!!!!!

This is not directed at you personally. I know it's going to look like it. It's an observation that I would make if you hadn't made your comment. I'm using your comment to address the absurdity of the situation we find ourselves in now, but I don't have animus toward you.

Yes we built something in space. Now, after tomorrow we won't have a way to get back to it in the foreseeable future.

Color me a complainer extraordinaire if you like folks, but wouldn't it seem like planning for this ahead of time, might have been a good idea?

Weather forecast - not looking good for a Shuttle launch...70-80% chance of rain/thunderstorms tomorrow...

ZCZC MIATWOAT ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM

TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 800 PM EDT THU JUL 7 2011

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

1. AN ELONGATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT 300 MILES SOUTHWEST OF TAMPA FLORIDA HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER DEFINED DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS.

IN ADDITION...SURFACE PRESSURES HAVE DECREASED OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO DURING THE LAST 24 HOURS. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR SOME ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTURBANCE.

THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES SLOWLY NORTHWARD OR NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD.

REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT...THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS MOST OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA AND THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

I hope they use the Stargate:Atlantis theme as one of the wake-up tunes during the mission. :D

They must have called it Mir.

That shuttle ain’t going nowhere today. Florida is covered in clouds and bad rain.

The astronaut providing color commentary on HDNet this morning, Mike Massimino, is quite a personality, actually offering some humor and some cutting comments.

CNBC’s ‘man on the scene’ almost got misty-eyed and apologized for feeling patriotic... Kudlow told him being patriotic was nothing to apologize about...

Does anyone know if we can buy/download the raw main-tank and launch tower camera footage of 135 and previous flights?

Or even the NASA channel feed raw?

I was able to catch a couple of glimpses of the shuttle from Lakeland, Fl. given the cloud cover. Absolutely beautiful!
