D-10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 2, 1, 0, we're in. Lift off of space shuttle Atlantis. Mission to build, resupply, and to do research on the Inter-Dational Space Station. Houston now controlling the Atlantis begins its penultimate journey to shore up the International Space Station. Atlantis now on the proper alignment for its eight-and-a-half-minute wide-to-orbit, four-and-a-half million pounds of hardware and humans taking aim on the International Outpost. Thirty seconds into the flight, Atlantis almost two miles in altitude, almost six miles down range from the Kennedy Space Center already traveling 500 miles an hour.
