Praises robotics and all the teams, and singles out the Canadian effort.

"They played key roles today."

And also the Russians for creating the tools and Yuri's support.

hate to rain in on the parade, but any news about what will happen with the starboard SARJ now?

"Although today's a huge day, once we undock, the pace is not going to slow down" (Stage work).

Dina: "It's a testiment that bringing so many different disiplines together is what created this successful spacewalk."

Dina: I think we sent Scott and Wheels back into the crew lock with smiles on their face.

Mike S:

"I'd like to say thanks to the design engineers. We have a team here at JSC, called sustain engineers. When things start to get off nominal, they pitch in. Boeing as the lead design team of the ISS, they worked without shift work, through 24 hours."

Good chance of having a couple of attempts to launch 122 before Dec 13.

SARJ Inspection: "We've asked the team where we can fly replacement components. But the team has done nothing relative to this right now (due to array work)."

current plan:
Nov 9th - stage EVA5
Nov 12th - move PMA2 to Node2
Nov 14th - move Node2/PMA2 to Destiny

No need to do the SARJ inspection now. They'll check the samples and work out what the problem is via that.

International pressure.. the big reason for the push.. get it done.. feels like pressure came from very high up.. all that going to happen going forward will be international partners and nothing else other than construct the ISS - its a directive and well covered ... just great work..

"This felt like a simulation, as we normally get more things thrown at us during sims than actual missions."

"No second thoughts on backing out of the SARJ inspection".

TRad DTO: "We need to have it done before STS-125."

Runaway cutter tool:

"We believe this was an equipement failure, a snapped cord" that allowed it to get loose.

No recontact risk - Derek. They'll be able to track it.

"we will talk to the Mountain" - to keep track on the orbiting pliers.. LOL

Marcia asks about the OBSS (thanks!

)

They've not yet checked out the sensors yet.
