That dawg won't hunt. Your 102 clearly indicates that there may be uncool mods.

Which I refuted and was directly rewarded for in 114. Now, be nice and maybe I will find it in my generous heart to bestow some charity.

We get some great radio coverage here in Florida ... they were talking about how the Apollo 4 launch made so much noise vibration that it was shaking apart the CBS trailer all around Cronkite as he broadcast the first manned Apollo.

Countdown clock will resume in two minutes.

Once the countdown picks up, the Ground Launch Sequencer will be initiated. The computer program is located in a console in the Firing Room of the Complex 39 Launch Control Center. The GLS is the master of events through liftoff. During the last 9 minutes of the countdown, the computer will monitor as many as a thousand different systems and measurements to ensure that they do not fall out of any pre-determine red-line limits. At T-minus 31 seconds, the GLS will hand off to the onboard computers of Atlantis to complete their own automatic sequence of events through the final half minute of the countdown.


Nothing better fall out of anything

Counting. There won’t be many more of these shuttle launches. A couple, four years and done.
