Space shuttle shuffle

The Australian: Countdown sees sensors perform well :

"NASA planned additional tests as the countdown proceeded, and kept watch over the weather, which was another possible obstacle to launch. Meteorologists predicted a 60 per cent chance of favourable conditions for launch."

A 60% chance of a successful launch and the tale of the mystery fuel line. May all go well. They have certainly been being as careful and as precise as they can be with the new frontier. There was a rumour the shuttle might be brought down off the Queensland coast and everyone was getting excited at the prospect but it has to get up there safely and they have to get it back before they think where to bring it down. Big, big days ahead. I am so nervous.
