Blog Editor's Note: We're only hours away from the scheduled launch of Endeavour (at 6:55 p.m. Central). Let's hope the weather cooperates. We might have an update over the weekend.

-- Karl (Team Mercury)
MAGNUS: To stay in orbit, the shuttle must travel 17,500 miles per hour.
P.S. Scroll down a few posts to read about what the launch itself feels like.
