quote
8:46 am
do we know why there was a short delay? >> reporter: vite at the thirty one seconds remaining. it was an ox -- right at the thirty one secretaries remaining. it was an oxygen vent. they checked that. it caused a delay. those secretaries are so critical. at 11:31, they missed the window. as the sects -- secretaries were -- sends were kicking -- seconds were kicking and -- there were photographers from around the worth here. there was an audible cheer. it was almost as loud. you can kind of pan off to the empty launchpad. there's four crew members on board. one of the reasons why, there's
8:47 am
not a shuttle on the pad. they keep the amount of crew members on board the "atlantis" small so if something were to happen to the orbiter, they would have to be brought back to earth one by one and that would take about a year. the mission here is to take as much payload as possible to the international space station. there's tons of equipment. there's about a year -- about a year of food. they want to keep the international space station supply own -- hopefully to the end of 012 -- of 2012. an maybe after that craft can continue to fly. they think that will be active until about 2020. back to you. >> craig boswell joinings live from florida. a wig -- joining us live
