… at least I hope so. I’ve just gone over all the “interesting” places on the Internet and nowhere is real coverage of Discovery’s pad flow. Oh … one thing, though. As already anticipated, the APU hotfire test carried out last week was successful, so there is one less chance for a late-in-countdown scrub (APU failures occur after (!) T-5 minutes, so that would be a really late scrub).
The lack of news is also expected. The pad flow seems to be on a good track, but nothing really newsworthy is expected during it. So if we had news, something would need to go wrong in order to make it a real news. So absence of any is a good thing. More on todays’s trip progress tomorrow: it’s already later over here …
