I'll be watching with fingers crossed. Drudge had an article indicating that chances for disaster as pegged by NASA is 1 in 100. Let's hope this one goes off without a hitch or we'll have to ditch the space station and forget further space endeavors for a long while.

They're also going to be testing various diagnostic and repair capabilities for the shuttle itself in an effort to detect issues created by launch like the wing damage from the last disaster.
