I know they said they'd land her at the first opportunity as always.....but won't someone please bribe the STA pilot or something to say they need to wait one more orbit? =D

Rex gives thanks to Keving McClooney, Mechanical Systems Officer, one of the 100 mission controllers. Hoping he's happy how he did the payload bay doors. Also gives thanks to the back room for those folks.

Block 10 complete, block 12 in work

Block 10 complete, block 12 in work

Once this is complete, the crew will don their Launch and Entry suits. Anticipated to be within the hour.
