That shot of the moon, are you sure that isnt a star? Looks awful little....

There's not enough light to pick up the stars. ie, the aparture of the cameras is too low since it's so bright up there.

edit: btw, they needed a newer graphics card for that little CG sequence they showed.

Jerkiness abounded. But it was really cool. I'll miss the later end of the spacewalk (have to head to work) but yeah.

Yup, the Moon. (Camera view is fairly wide angle)

P6 almost in pre-install position.

Getting SAFER installed.

Another current view of P6.

Robotics w/s (pics are of trainers and ROBO folks)

MKremer · « **Reply #46 on:** 10/30/2007 06:45 am »

P6 reported now in preinstall position over P5.

Closest thing to being there. Was wondering who those pics were of.

Getting stuffed into the airlock. :laugh:

MKremer · « **Reply #49 on:** 10/30/2007 06:48 am »

Still about 20 mins left in pre-breathe.

That cam view is from node2 looking into node1 and then into the airlock.. Is that right?

Looked like Scott had a twist in his main external umbilical cable - so they extracted him, twisted him around 360 degrees, and stuffed him back in again. :laugh:

From the opposite outer hatch area.

By any chance, where's the third Expedition 16 member (Yuri Malenchenko) in all of this? Haven't seen him at all in any of the coverage during this mission...

He's onboard, right?

EDIT: Nevermind. He was just mentioned on NASA TV right now. :bleh:
