My sincere congratulations to everyone who came up with this plan, and of course, to those who put it in practice! That was incredible.

The tension bars do look a bit too tensioned, but I suppose that was expected...

This EVA should make all Canadians proud, with the help over the past couple of days with Canadarm 1 and 2, the Canadian OBSS, and Scott "hockey stick" , just kidding about the 'hockey stick, I know it was not made in Canada ;)

Perhaps the hockey stick was made while flying over Canada  ;)

As a Canadian I am very proud of the contribution we made.
The teamwork was phenominal.

Pambo has a go to get Scott back, Scott said "Take me home!"
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

I'm worried about the functionality of the OBSS after being unpowered in this thermal environment.

Scott: Wheels is optional.  


Wow, I love all the joking around when they've just completed one of the hardest jobs..
