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

NET L+2 hours. A key difference.

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

I think they all take advantage of nose-wheel steering, if afforded it.

Wow, 15 days of continuous NSAS TV coverage. Seems strange not to be going back to "Mission Control"

There's going to be a lot of coverage continuing, given all the assembly activities during the 10A stage...beginning with Friday's EVA.

And we get to do it all again in less than a month!

While we still have the shuttle, maybe we should try to get a complete mission on video in real time. From tanking ops to the post landing briefings (well, maybe excluding crew sleep periodes) as a reference for the future and to avoid withdrawl symptoms during the gap :-)

lol ...there's a typo...it's Mike Leinbach

Wayne Hale had quite the smirk on his face during that introduction, and rightly so! :cool:

"Like kids in a candy store" about the crew after landing by Mike

I like Griffin's Rolls Royce analogy.

Did he say the Hubble flight is set for July?

Indeed. Perfect landing.

Mike Leinbach saying that the launch team plan is basically to take the STS-122 processing up to S0007 call to stations and then sync up with when the station will be ready for them...

Discovery "looks damn good" --Mike L

Nice words from Gerst about where they are right now, the 10A stage is essentially an assembly mission on its own and the KSC launch team will be doing the STS-122 TCDT while the Node 2 external outfitting EVAs are going on, and the congrats from ESA and JAXA.

Hale was "nervous as a cat" waiting for landing

Griffin commenting on the press addiction to conflict/controversy. (As manifest in the interest in dissent in past shuttle FRRs.)
