Earlier Jeff called to Huston and invited them on board via KU. I haven't seen any images inside the lab as yet.
-
Right now they're showing images of the astronauts inside Destiny... pretty crowded :)
-
Haha, don't know if any of you noticed, but right now Vinogradov just started shaking like mad :) This man seemed cold, but he isn't so much after all!
-
-
Hardly anyone wants to talk to pavel in PAO events - I wonder if he feels left out?
-
That was nicely symbolic: NBC "can't" interview the crew; meanwhile, "serious" celebrity gossip about the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son goes on in the background. Nicely underscores where the ratings are.

I noticed that - shame on NBC. What a load of crap priorities on thier part. Boycot!
-
Someone needs to send the networks a press release stating there is a problem just to get them to fucus back on the station ;)

That's not their priorities, that comes from their audience. (They aren't the only ones devoting hours to discuss this.)
-
Status briefing with Paul Dye coming off shift...mostly talking about tomorrow and Monday.
-
Slight aside, but it looks like they're working on the S3/S4 batteries in the SSPF today for Atlantis' next flight...
-
Yup, I noticed that, also. Doing battery replacements (actually, they only got through one or two before quitting for the day).
Those are *big* batteries!

Slightly OT - Forecasters report high chances of crosswinds and thunderstorms at the SLF landing day with improving weather the next day. Radiator and arrays look great! Mostly just transfers today I see! Anyone have info on what's being transferred between the two craft?

Where did you get this from? The latest weekly forecast from the 45th Weather Squardon at CCAFS only has a 30% chance for T-storms for Wednesday morning(which is when landing is scheduled, 5:57 am EDT).
-
SFN. 30% huh? Not as bad as they made it sound. Good to know though. But the outlook does improve Thursday. Atlantis has enough supplies to stay in orbit for an additional three days if necessary. Will they do it the same way as the last two where they activate Edwards only after the first attempt falls through?
-
I believe the have enough consumables to last through at least one or two extra days if KSC isn't available right away.

Remember that we've got a thread dedicated to the forecast on this Atlantis section.

They got consumables to last through Friday if needed,

If it's slow, let me throw this in -- the discussion on another loop about Vinogradov's comment monday (about 1:30 pm EDT) about an 'unknown object' has snowballed. Does anybody have a sound capture of that particular sequence where we can listen to the actual Russian and then the interpreter's quick translation? No hurry -- but the 'mystery comment' is catching fire in all the usual suspect internet sites.
-
Thankfully this site avoids such UFO nonsense. Maybe such UFO stories should remain on those usual suspect sites?

Yeah...but I think we'd need to move the human nature discussion to a different site, if not forum... :)

I wonder if the "unknown object" Vinogradov was talking about was one of the lost bolts? Have the lost items from the spacewalks been tracked now?
