So here are some pictures from tonight. The first one is an awesome picture of Space Shuttle Atlantis. We performed the debris walkdown on the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) and then moved on to the pad surface. In the next picture is me picking up whatever type of foreign object debris I found. The following picture is from when I was down inside the FLAME TRENCH!! Not a place anyone would want to be in tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of the pictures in the slide show. Now I'm going to bed so I can be well rested to support launch tomorrow!! More pictures to follow!

Lucky you!
Hey, if you need a pair of well tuned eyes to find out any kind of debrees down to the launch pad, please, feel free to call me.
I'll be there in about 12-16 hours :D
Wish you the best for your role in this mission, and thanks for the photos! :D
Cool. Sooo cool... I wish I could have been with you! This must have been a really good experience.
I am over here in Germany and will go to the Columbus Control Center today and view the launch from there. I hope a lot of interesting folks will be there, too.
In case you would be interested (and don't have better ones ;)) I have animated the RSS retraction based on public webcam images.
All the best for launch day!

I'm guessing it can get quite warm in the flame trench?
