CAPE CANAVERAL (Florida) - COUNTDOWN clocks at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida began ticking toward Monday's launch of shuttle Atlantis on a final servicing call to the Hubble Space Telescope, officials said on Friday.
'Hello Florida, it's great to be here - at last,' shuttle commander Scott Altman told reporters shortly after he and his crew arrived at the spaceport late Friday afternoon. 'It's been a long road to get here. We're all thrilled.'
