Atlantis will be late getting to the launch pad due to a stuck pin. Yeah a stuck pin. Actually it was a metal guide pin that jammed in place while engineers were routing a liquid hydrogen fuel line between the shuttle and the external fuel tank. Don't ya just hate it when that happens? Well, they got it out ok, but it will be next Tuesday before the shuttle gets out to the launch pad. This flight will be one to watch, it will be the last service call to the Hubble Space Telescope. Some major upgrades will be done to the telescope on this mission, I can't wait for these new images to come down.
