'Wheels can get out there and touch the BGA's and stuff, right Paolo?'

'We concur that Wheels can go out to the mast.' (MCC-H)

Warnings being read to Scott. What not to touch etc.

Scott:" Not sure there is anything left to touch"
Nespoli: "I've only read half a page"

Both laugh ... Man it's hard to get to grips with how cool they are about the whole thing. Amazing stuff

Scott is marveling at the view: "Words can't do this justice... no way.  At least not mine."

Are you guys receiving wireless video right now? - Scott

Yes, but it's ratty right now.  - MCC-H

Aww, that's too bad. - Scott

Here at Window 1, the view is just as good, Scott! - (Sounded like) Whitson

Yeah, but words can't do this justice.  - Scott

Another 150 degrees to go, if I heard right.

I can't imagine the view Scott is having. Even with the low-res, overexposed and ratty helmet-cam view, it's breathtaking!
