One hour to crew wake up.

*hopes for Lady Gaga*

"Hello Hello Space.. can you hear meeee?"

[Chris Bergin]

I'll see your Gaga and raise you a David Bowie.

[Chris Bergin]

Heh. Kool and the Gang?

[Alpha Control]

Wake-up song was "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang.

[Chris Bergin]

STS-135 crew picked the song "Celebration" for the Shuttle workforce (for what they've done).

Stennis on the video.

[Chris Bergin]

The message included "Let the good times roll" in French.

I can only assume they have seen the SLS documentation

[Alpha Control]

Great shot of the Stennis workforce.

[Alpha Control]

And this will date me. I actually have the vinyl LP of Kool and the Gang!

[STS Tony]

So I assume that's going to be what they'll do to EOM, people celebrating their layoffs? It's the Garver good times on NASA TV.

*hopes for Lady Gaga*

"Hello Hello Space.. can you hear meeee?"

I would prefer Weird Al Yankovic doing his Lady Gaga spoof "Perform this way"...

And this will date me. I actually have the vinyl LP of Kool and the Gang!

What's a vinyl album?   

[Alpha Control]

If I heard correctly, PAO states that the overall mission is 94% complete on the MPLM transfers.
