There not up yet. I'm not sure what's taking so long.

They don't normally update the Gallery outwith the normal working week. You only sometimes got updates during shuttle missions. And if this is a holiday weekend, wouldn't expect anything until the Public Affairs admin folk get back to work.

By the way I noticed no photos of the Soyuz TMA-04M docking.

I remember when HTV-2 berthed back on 27 January 2011, the photos were online in the HSF gallery within hours.

The Expedition 30/31 gallery has been the best gallery for a long time, in terms of quality, volume, and frequency of images.

Yes, but the 27 Jan 11 was a Thursday! My point exactly. Capture and berthing took place yesterday - a Saturday.

Thursday's close approach photos were up quickly.

Yep you are right of course. Just ignore me - I'm losing it these days!

Where is time going?

Totally messes up my argument :)

Sorry about that!

Keith do not be so harsh on yourself ,on the other side of the dateline it is a day ahead or they consider us to be a day behind,next step is to join the flat Earth lot,it would make following spaceflight so much more easy. ;D

The wider public may not understand the difference between berthing and docking, but many people understand the difference between an average and a median. ;D
To really pick a point, technically and legally, "average" can be used in reference to the mean, the median, or the mode.

It's common interpretation as "the mean" is just due to sloppy and widespread common usage.

It's the traditional bump 'n lock to align the mission threads prior to EOM!
