Is it still wet?

It will be interesting to see how many of the repairs pop off (if any)
during ascent.

So, what exactly is the point in examining the engines now?

Because they can. The ET repairs weren't going to allow launch before
the end of the May window anyway, and the next launch window doesn't
open until June 8, leaving time for engineers to get a nice, warm
fuzzy feeling that nothing is rattling around in Atlantis' MPS, so why
not?
