    Should be OK, they have 1 day contingency still built into the flow. Fingers crossed:)

    It just got underway,Just the sound of clinks and Clanks,also plenty of birdsong,poor critters fooled into thinking it's dawn from the light from the VAB:)

    The Crawler has been refused entry into F1 due to an unfair speed advantage though;)

    Is there anywhere I can find the processing flow, as in what coming up and when they're to happen.

    Been following that, was looking for the steps that have to happen rather than whats happening. Other half is getting really into now as the dates get closer.

    At the moment they're in the correct time frame to get her away on the scheduled launch date. I read somewhere yesterday that there may be more news on the manifest by tomorrow. That could be a decision on STS-134 and it's implications on STS-132,not sure yet.

    There'll be another review next week,wednesday i think,which should make things a bit clearer. Right now Atlantis is on course and will be ready to go,it's all the peripheral stuff that could impact launch date.

    Your best bet then is to keep an eye on CBS :
    http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html

    They give great coverage and provide lots of fact sheets and timelines for each flight. Great stuff! check out all the links at the sides of the page. They have not started STS-132 yet but will shortly.
    Hope it helps:)
    Go Atlantis!!!!
