The shuttle is nearing Hubble, preparing to get ready to do some major overhaul. CNN is carrying a live stream from their main page, and NASA tv as well:

Somewhere in the field of blue shirts drifting in and out of mission control during this mission is my dear J... we are so excited about finally getting Hubble overhauled and upgraded... (Ok, he is stressed because this is a super intense mission... but still, success of this mission means a lot for us)
Keep the Atlantis crew in your thoughts and prayers... their work load is tedious and heavy, and right now there have been some injuries that occurred to the heat tiles, during lift off. (I think 3 tiles were affected...) They don't think it is very serious, but just the smallest of nicks are worrisome in regards of getting them down from orbit without something like Columbia happening. We want to get our astronauts back on the ground safe and sound!
ETA: ok, I got it wrong... they are currently showing Houston Mission Control... J is at Goddard... once they start doing cam viewing of Goddard mission control, he will be part of the blue sea of shirts.
