Houston, Discovery: whoooaaaa!!

That was good!

That was pretty good.  Made me smile.  I've never heard a crew do that before.

Nice view. Also note this is Discovery's debuting of the SSPTS.

MCC sending first couple of steps on the deltas, as leak checks.

Hard shutdown of the router - sounds centralized to KFX machine/PGSC troubleshooting. Hard reboot of all PGSC including router.

Block 22 Alpha on board in post dock.

Clay checking the version of the one meg image cards are correct, after firmware work yesterday (any computer literate people know what that's about?)

Clay told to do the firewire loading again - "we don't want to take the shortcut."

"This would be the place for enhanced process efficiency," says Clay, in a humorous retort to MCC :)

Clay struggling to find his 3.3.12 - he's got loads of 3.3.others. "If you add them all up together, you might get 12."

ISS reading stable on leak checks.

Clay told he only needed 3.3.14 for his firmwire after all.

Ah, so that must be the CBM cover they mentioned coming loose during launch.

Super images from this angle, especially the live TV show with the rotation of the Earth.
