All seven STS-127 astronauts are safely strapped into their seats and are awaiting liftoff at 6:51 p.m. EDT. The launch pad closeout crew will check for pressurize the crew cabin and check for leaks, then finish up remaining work inside the pad's environmentally controlled White Room before leaving the area. The weather forecast for launch time calls for a 40 percent chance of weather acceptable for liftoff. Weather conditions are very dynamic in Florida at this time of year, and weather officers are concerned about the potential for showers and storms. Weather has not impacted the countdown so far today, and launch and weather personnel are monitoring conditions closely.</blockquote>
