GLS - 7/11/2007  6:05 PM

STS 118 had the SpaceHab, this one has pretty much nothing in the PLB...

Spacehab is (was) only a small fraction of the total orbiter mass, not explaining the big burn time difference. The different pre burn orbit does explain it (large orbit adjustment yesterday).

Ok thanks. I guess I was just expecting a longer burn because of Hale's comments. Oh well! They're on their way home and that's the important part! God speed Discovery!

I think those will be started closer to EI, around when they transition to MM 304, which is around EI -5 minutes.

And Diller comes on. He sounds like he skipped his coffee or maybe has a cold.
