I have a very simular photo to the one you posted. It was taken on Dec 24, 1968 from Apollo 8 by James Lovell who also flew on Apollo 13.
After he retired from NASA, he worked at CENTEL (Central Telephone) in Chicago as a member of the board. I was working there as a ‘systems Specialist’ (Technical Systems Analyst) while he was there.
He personally addressed it to me and signed it. It is nicely framed and hangs on my office wall.
Mr Lovell is very restrictive in how many copies of that picture he gives out, he doesn’t want to diminish it’s value.

Here is the NASASpaceFlight.com live thread.
Here is their thread on the previous launch attempt and troubleshooting.
Precip associated with the front moving through now. Should be no constraint to launch as of now.
Launch is 2:45PM EST tomorrow (7 Feb). Atlantis will be in her phasing orbit and the crew sleep period begins at 8:45PM EST (7 Feb).
NASA TV is available here.

The shuttle “surge” begins.

Thanks for the ping, Kevin. Astronaut Dan Tani will be more than glad to come home, I think.

You’re probably right.
According to NASASpaceFlight.com the LH2 tank is in stable replenish, and LOX is still filling.

Per NASASpaceFlight, crew is being strapped in.
I won’t be around for launch, but I’ll be able to give commentary for the next hour or so.

Right now it’s looking like the only constraint to launch is the cloud cover, which is cycling between go and no-go.
