three, two, one and liftoff of Space Shuttle Atlantis to assemble the

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.000
framework for the science laboratories of tomorrow.

00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.000
HOUSTON: Houston now controlling.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000

systems in good shape. Engines throttling down as Atlantis prepares to

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.000
