T-minus 2 minutes. The astronauts are being instructed to close and lock the visors on their launch and entry helmets.

At T-minus 1 minute, 57 seconds the replenishment to the flight load of liquid hydrogen in the external tank will be terminated and tank pressurization will begin.

I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

We know well how dangerous this thing is. All that fire. All the meticulous calculations and systems that must work perfectly.
