So, why do they need a countdown to the countdown?
Checklists and checking weather at emergency landing sites worldwide........stuff like that.
Is there anything this man doesn't know? Anyone know where they're going? Silly question, marine knows..

EDIT: Oo, disconnect that probe. Sounds fun
They are going to the space station........................at 7 million pounds of thrust.

Lmao, if anyone is watching it live still. A bird keeps flying infront of the camera "He's like WTF!? AM ON TV!!!11 Hi mom!!"

He's listing it's engine size and stuff, it's faster than my pc.. wow! It has a large amount of thrust or something..

EDIT: they gots sum cameras and shit. Take sum piccies, have samichs.. then come home. I could do this space man thing.

Oh and that guy's just cool, "We're at T-minus 9 minutes and counting, this is mission control at Houston."

topping off the fuel, checking under the hood, making sure the wiper fluid is full ,,,, air pressure on the tires is good ..... the basics
dont forget the large of amounts of Tang that they are putting in the trunk for the road trip.

they're rotating a few views on their camera (shuttle, viewing lawn with countdown clock, etc.) but what is that view they have of what looks like some tower on a sand bar?

That's 9 minutes from the 40 minute countdown. I'm hooked on this shuttle stuff, serious business.

EDIT: Marine be right, it's about 45 mins.

So anyway. They're delivering the S5 truss. Which'll support the S6 truss which supports some Solar Panels (S stands for Starboard I think) - So, that they can steal energy from the sun instead of using oil from evil Middle Easterners who don't believe in Space.

Their guys are out of the white room,

They are going to the perch position.  Does that mean they are going to go kill that bird?

They're not astronauts, they're just walking adverts for NASA.

The International Space Station has given them the green light. They're good to go.
