CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: We are watching the space shuttle Atlantis on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center this morning. Space correspondent Miles O'Brien is there watching, as well. Miles, how's it looking?</s>MILES O'BRIEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Carol, it's looking like we are going to see a launch in about 10 minutes' time. They just polled all the people in the firing room, as they call it, which is sitting across a parking lot from where I sit right now with the go and no go decision from each of the various engineers monitoring the various systems on the space shuttle. And, I was listening very carefully when they polled the person in charge of weather. The weather person said: There are no constraints to launch. They are go for launch. So, in about two minutes and 30 seconds, a countdown clock, which is now at nine minutes and holding, should begin counting down and we should see, if all goes well, an on-time launch of the space shuttle Atlantis, headed off to the International Space Station, on this, the fourth mission of a shuttle to the space station; part of an ambitious campaign to build this $100 billion outpost in space over the next five or six years. So, Carol, it looks like we going to see a launch. And, we will of course keep you posted here, should anything come up, technically in the countdown, but the weather is looking good.</s>LIN: OK, it looks great behind you, Miles. Thanks so much.
