The crew for the next shuttle flight has arrived at Cape Kennedy for pre-launch training and preparation. The launch is scheduled for February 12, 2008 at 7:32 am. If you don't already do so, I recommend watching NASA TV when the shuttle is up. With the live feeds of mission activities it makes it something viewing.
While it sometimes may seem like they are not doing anything worthwhile in orbit it is important to remember that much of what is being done is not known to the public.
