IIRC the Z1 connector repatching has been attempted twice before but failed because connectors couldn't be unplugged due to too little clearance and the fact that they appeared to be stuck. What are NASA doing this time to improve their chances of success?

...Lots of Canadian media involved, which is good per sign of media interest.Event over.
Did I understand correctly that:Neither CDRA, or Russian CO2 removal are capable by themselves of dealing with continuous 6 people on Station. (ISS needs both systems).If one of these systems failed completely, the other system could only remove the CO2 for about three weeks before levels would get too high.(When another CDRA is sent up, then there will be redundancy)Please correct me if that is not what was explained.
Thanks for the crew conference coverage Chris. I'll have to watch it later to get the French questions sorted. I wish Bob Thirsk got more questions, but everyone now considers Julie the 'golden girl', whereas it was Marc Garneau before as our 'golden boy' (being our first astronaut).But from the sounds ot it from the mission, Julie's done extremely well handling the robotics portions.
