Good to know that after 5 months, my Sokhol pressure suit still fits. It's what we wear in the Soyuz. High fashion.

It's not easy putting on the Sokhol pressure suit - a tight squeeze. Like being born in reverse.

Due to the ISS ammonia leak and US EVA-21 by Tom Marshburn, the landing may now be delayed.

Interestingly, the NASA Gulfstream III aircraft that will bring Marshburn and Hadfield back to the States from Kazakhstan is scheduled to fly out there today - so whether it does or not will be a good indication of whether or not the landing has been postponed.

Edit:

And the aircraft took off on time.

Listening to the exchanges between the Cosmonauts and Moscow preparing for departure is interesting and somewhat troubling. They are disagreeing about procedures, messages, and responsibilities endlessly. They almost seem to be making this up as they go along...

An interesting interview with Shannon Walker on the Soyuz and crew responsiblities...

Isn't this a replay of the change of command ceremony from yesterday?

Hadfield‏@Cmdr_Hadfield

Reviewing Soyuz procedures onboard, but I wanted to thank every person at the Cdn Space Agency. Your work takes Canada into orbit. Be proud.

Yes it was. But that is part of live coverage.
Farewell and closing hatch happened during LOS so we'll get video after it downlinked.

From ISS audio:

Hatch closed. Video of hatch closing ceremonies completed. (I guess it will be down linked later)
