Integration of MAUI Burns note: "Orbit adjust is planned for EOM-1 to bring in 2 KSC landing
opportunities for Wednesday. Are trying to integrate the MAUI burns into
the timeline."

Quick trip to Mars during EOM-1 it seems

Some web media interviews coming up not long after.

You can see on the telemetry screen that the burn for MAUI is in effect. Some reasonably fast rotation.

Almost a mini RPM!

"Good proceedure"

I believe I heard MCC-H say: We're ready for the burn on the DAP

Now, more live shots from Discovery.

You can tell it's a long mission when Capcom notes that they can send messages up in blue, as they have more of that ink than black.

Two minutes away from the PAO event.

MCC-H has video, but I guess they don't want to show it.. :bleh:

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #30 on:** 11/06/2007 01:44 pm »

Discovery is ready for the event.

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #31 on:** 11/06/2007 01:45 pm »

Event started.

Associated Press up first!

Marcia goes after Pambo on that daylight landing, asking if it's because she's "flustered?" <--didn't hear that word properly.

EVA-4 questions to Pam and Scott.

"You never come face to face with the Arrays in the NBL."

"I wish Wheels could have been up with me on the boom."

Marcia: Is a Nebraskan medium-rare steak really what you want? What other cravings do you have?

Clay: Yes, I do not know if it will happen right away, but we have a special recipe that I want again. I also want cold drinks, ice cream, and a lot of things that we did not have on the ISS.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #35 on:** 11/06/2007 01:51 pm »

Two fluff questions, not worth transcribing.

Last question on ISS stage work:

"The folks on the ground make sure we're not too overloaded. I think they are going to be fine" - Clay.

"Awesome, Amazing, Fluffy Clouds and Breezes you don't get on the ISS" sums up the SDC part of it.

Uh oh, Lincoln Daily Star asks Pambo about flying over mainland US for the first time since Columbia. Pambo deals with it well "I was thinking that a lot of people would get to see it."

Event concluded!

Now resuming operational air-to-ground communications.

Did you undergo a personality change on the ISS (reference to Count Clay etc)?

"Maybe it was one of those experiments"

"I was under a lot of stress before the mission. It was the real Clay at the end of the mission."

And that's that. Lots of fluff, but at least nothing dodgy.
