NO Focused Inspection required passed on to the crew! :)

Final determination by the MMT tomorrow (but that'll be peer review), she's a clean lady.

Great news!!!  BTW, Button blew it at Silverstone, not a good day for Lewis either  :-[

No, Button was doing fine except at his last pit stop they forgot to put his right front wheel on properly with a wheel nut ! Hamilton was also doing fine until the team realized they had underfueled his car and he had to purposely slow down for the last 20 laps ! Both were in with a shot of the podium. The team principal was so embarrassed by this general team incompetence he gave no TV interviews after.

As well as he should be.

Crew in pre sleep.

Reminder of the latest article:
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2011/07/sts-135-atlantis-docks-iss-wleids-review-rcc-panels/
What an excellent article.  You guys don't just copy & paste the technical stuff you're privy to just to fill space, you really dig into it and present it in an understandable and relevant manner.  Thanks to both Chris'.

Was looking through the HD downlink the ISS sent down. They recorded Hatch Opening /Welcome Ceremony in 3D. Maybe we'll see that one day in a Shuttle Documentary.  :(

Agreed! I was just looking for info on the orbital debris the news media is busy sensationalising...

Was looking through the HD downlink the ISS sent down. ...

I had a chance to see the HD of liftoff with the ET camera view and had never before noticed a 'Brocken Spectre' on the clouds around the shadow of the Orbiter. Also called a 'glory', it's a bright halo which often surrounds an observer's shadow on fog or clouds below him as viewed from a mountain. Cause -- retroreflection of the sun from water droplets. Since I got a HD TV and have access to the HDNET channel, I've been marveling at what details were hitherto not noticeable in the old super-spectacular scenes.

Jim - I noticed this, too, on launch day! AMAZING imagery coincidence with that "halo" around the stack as seen on the cloud reflection.

Btw, just wondering what the arc of numbers (towards bottom right) from the shuttle's PMA are?

Biomedical flight controller team

"Who you gonna call? Ghost Busters!" ;)

Edit; I can't recall the name of the actor he resembles...
