Looked like all 6 of them got off.

You see Paolo out there?

Paolo and Clay stayed inside.

Crew is out on the receiving line on NTV. Pam's hugging everybody including the NTV camera guy.

Yeah, I was wondering if she knows some of those folks from being out there as a Cape Crusader in years past...

I'm counting Pambo, Zambo, Scott, Stephanie and Doug. The others were Steve Lindsey, Ellen Ochoa and Jerry Ross. Looks like Paolo elected to stay behind with Clay

While we are waiting for the press interview, what roles Steve Lindsey, Ellen Ochoa and Jerry Ross do for the crew?

thomasafb · « **Reply #408 on:** 11/07/2007 07:00 pm »

Ellen: Director of Flight Crew Operations, JSC
Steve: Chief Astronaut Office, JSC
Jerry: Chief, Vehicle Integration Test Office, JSC

They are all management astronauts; you can find semi-current bios here:

Lindsey is chief of the astronaut office and flew the STA for the weather recon today. Ochoa is Director of Flight Crew Operations, however I don't remember what Ross' position is, but he has been down at the Cape for some time now. I've seen him during several of the last flights

Wow, Scott looks like he's only, oh, a meter or so taller than Pam!

jmjawors · « **Reply #413 on:** 11/07/2007 07:03 pm »

Uh oh... think I heard Pam call Discovery an "it!"

psloss · « **Reply #414 on:** 11/07/2007 07:03 pm »

Ochoa is or will soon be Deputy Director of JSC:

Grumbles. Good speech though and still praise for the orbiter and the engineers, so we'll let her off

jarthur · « **Reply #416 on:** 11/07/2007 07:05 pm »

any word on when the post landing press briefing will be? I thought it was landing plus 2 hours, but will obviously be a few minutes yet with the briefers at the slf

Nevermind, they just answered my question

thomasafb · « **Reply #417 on:** 11/07/2007 07:06 pm »

Looks as if Pam stopped her right on the centreline :-)

kimmern123 · « **Reply #418 on:** 11/07/2007 07:06 pm »

And any news about a possible crew press conference later today?

EDIT: Is George Diller reading my thoughts??

psloss · « **Reply #419 on:** 11/07/2007 07:06 pm »

The upper management folks have to get over to the press site area from the SLF, but George Diller said the post landing press briefing would be soon...
