The STS-135 Ascent Highlights video is making the rounds at JSC. Told it's REALLY special.

We're not going to "acquire" it as this is something for NASA TV to first run. I suspect that'll be tomorrow.

Vestibule between PMA-2 and ODS hatches is currently being depressurised.

Will be at least four years before it's pressurised again - maybe more. :(

Just out of curiosity -- has there been any word on whether they're going to use the PMA-2 volume for storage and, if so, what will be kept there?

Just out of curiosity -- has there been any word on whether they're going to use the PMA-2 volume for storage and, if so, what will be kept there?

From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 01/07/2011.

PMA-2 Decision:
With no more Shuttles after STS-135 arriving at ISS, the decision was made to leave the PMA-2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter-2) pressurized after ULF-7 departure so that it can be used like a closet - like PMA-3. Since it is not designed for stowage, it would require non-standard stowage. Before anything will be stowed, the thermal environment has to be determined.

Just watched "Launching our dreams". This is going to be a really tough week... but great mission for Atlantis and her crew! I just wish that "Groundhog Day" would kind of turn into reality with repeating the last 10 and a half days again before "wheels stop".

?

Need to make this go viral.
Repost on FB, Twitter, blogs, etc.

Once lost they will not come again.
The same as Concorde, I want to see them flying. Not in museums.

I would prefer if the more recent one was made viral. This one has Atlantis retiring after 132 (pre sts 135 ;) )

Great words being spoken for Sandy Magnus, and how beneficial she was and missed she will be
