I'm currently watching live coverage of preparations for lift-off of STS-114. The Discovery has been fully fueled and sits magnificently on the launchpad.
We are at T minus three hours and the count has just proceeded after a planned hold.
[Edit] The mission astronauts have just departed in a helicopter-escorted motorcade to board the Shuttle. (Live coverage, NASA TV.)
[Edit] The astronauts are in the involved process of boarding the Shuttle. Live camera shots include a new angle showing the astronauts being strapped into their seats in the mid-deck of the Shuttle.
[Edit] All astronauts are securely strapped in aboard the Discovery and are proceeding with preflight checklists. An assistant is aboard the ship to help the crew in preparations. Four crewmembers are on the flight deck and three others are on the mid-deck. Launch countdown is nominal.
[Edit] Success!
