2-3 FEET of clearance

2 feet is the point at which they get concerned but worked with it before. Lighting is more of an issue

question of KU

WVS is going to be good. Crew has flexabilty as to how to proceed. Not flight rules on where to proceed. If something is odd they might wait to get KU

trying to get to a 30 min to air lock in case of emergency.

takes 15 to get to truss

Scott has tested in the NBL and he can get there in about 8 mins she thought.

30 min backup air supply plus remaining in the main tanks

purge valve might need to be used untill you start moving alot.

still discussing about the 30 min

Derek describes Scott's experience as a safety blanket for this proceedure.

Are they planning to keep Scott out on the boom until the array is fully extended in case more tears appear, or is he coming in and then they continue the deployment?

It was either one bay or one half bay at a time.

Probably. These things are delicate so it's best to take it slow. Easy-does-it does it best!!

You forgot to transcribe the response to that important question from Mark - one that all of us were wondering:

Ku video coverage isn't continuous from ISS to the ground.

Strange that he didn't know that... But now we all do :>
