Brandi signing off with it's been an honor. She's done very well with this one, especially with the interviews etc.

PAO Rob Navias has now assumed Public Affairs duties. Notes that it has been an emotional night, full of history. This likely to be the final shift in the MCC.

Capcom for this shift is Barry Wilmore.

Weather briefing in about 45 minutes. Weather conditions for landing continue to be ideal.

The history of the moment is not lost on the MCC team, but they are focused on their tasks and ready to support the landing.

Rick Sturkow will fly weather reconnaissance via the T-38 and then the STA.

Payload bay door closing scheduled for 1:09am CDT.

Hobaugh jokes with Fergi that the weather looks so good today, he might not be needed. Fergi acknowledges the GC folks.

That's the Flight Dynamics team - backroom positions, along with the FDO/TRAJ. I recognize a few of those faces...
