Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: This is "C.J." (Sturckow) sending some sort of a message. I'm not
sure what it is, but I'm sure somebody appreciated it.
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: Absolutely.
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: Anyways...
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: It's code for someone...
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: He knows... these guys all know each other pretty well. And, you
know, it's a hard thing to get strapped into the vehicle, it's a hard thing to strap people in.
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: These cameras definitely provide a unique view.
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: There's Nicole (Stott), final message, I would imagine, to her family.
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: We see Pilot Kevin Ford is being assisted here in the
White Room by the Closeout Crew. And we see Danny Olivas is in the White Room. And Pat Forrester
has entered the White Room. And Christer (Fuglesang) is being fitted, ready to board Discovery, as well.
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: Now, we see Jose (Hernandez).
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: Yeah, a big wave.
Cady Coleman/NASA Astronaut: Now, to me, this is always a very funny view to see because, you
know, again, the orbiter is nose pointed toward the sky ready for launch.
Mike Curie/STS-128 Launch Commentator: See that the hatch has physically been closed.
