[b]Astronauts arrive to favorable forecast[/b] The STS-129 astronauts are now at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew arrived at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility in a Gulfstream II jet at 11:35 a.m. CST. After arriving, commander Charles Hobaugh and his crew made brief statements to the media who were gathered at the shuttle runway. "It's a real honor and pleasure to be here," said Hobaugh. "This has been the culmination of at least nine months of us being together as a crew... we have been deeply entrenched in our training, getting to develop all of our individual requirements for accomplishing our objectives for this mission." The countdown to their launch begins at the T-43 hour mark at noon CST Friday leading to a liftoff on November 16 at 1:28 p.m. CST. The weather forecast for Monday calls for a 90% chance of favorable conditions at launch time.
