ItsyAndy - 3/11/2007 3:50 PM I heard earlier that #5 was not more needed? Maybe my english sucks :-)

They said that, if they lagged behind too much with the remaining cufflinks (back then only 2 were installed), they could leave the 5th, but obviously it was better if they could put it in place.


I see! Looks like he made it then!

They got it!   A couple of spectacular scenes.
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

Seems as though Houston isn't as happy about the 'cheesy fix' as they originally said. :)

MCC-H:  Happy with current config, would like EV's to back off and get ready for deploy.
