Hi everyone, I finally have access to a working computer this morning so I can provide some comm updates during the rest of the EVA.

We are 33 minutes to the ZOE, 40 minutes to sunset on this pass.

someone saying that Wheels needs to move down the canister for deploy:  "Don't stick your hands in there, Wheels!"

Seems like the mood is pretty good up there!

Going "out on a limb" here and predicting good Ku until 15:35 GMT at that time there is a switch from TDRS-E to TDRS-Z... We've had very good coverage today on TDRS-W and TDRS-E

Go for a half bay deploy.  5 hours and 1 minute into EVA.
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.
