How cool (and Breaking News-worthy) would it be if the crew floats in with a bottle of champagne to start the birthday celebration?
They need to stick with this type of coverage. People will watch just for the detail and "connection" which will then lead to better support of the things we do in space...
Absolutely agree -

Air-to-ground 2 is privatized for PMC.

I'm loving hearing all the audio from the Harmony module, but I wonder if they remember that they are on VOX. They set a 5-minute timer, then said something about a "Rob Navias story." Whatever that means, they got a chuckle out of it.
Peggy tried calling down on air-to-ground 2, but they didnt hear her on the freq, they heard her through the HD audio, and told her. -

It happens. They have all the support they need up there. -

Alright, i take back the PAO silence thing. Things seem awfully quiet and we are oddly disconnected.

Yeah...they were talking all over the hot mike when we didn't want them too...and now that there's nothing to hear they're not talking at all.

Looks like its handover to orbit-2 so the PAO must also be changing. -

Hi,
Is there any more info on the PMC thing?
The CBS news update said:QuoteEarlier today, the shuttle crew requested a private medical conference, or PMC, a somewhat unusual request in the midst of a rendezvous. A followup PMC was asked for shortly after docking but NASA does not discuss medical issues because of privacy concerns and it was not known what might have prompted the brief conferences.

That's about all we know. There's obviously a reason that it's private.

Okay, which one are they going to stick with? One mission its "Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver" the next it's "Rotational Pitch Maneuver"...

I pick Rbar.

I believe Chris clarified this a few missions ago, it's technically the R-Bar Pitch Maneuver. But I heard it as, I believe, Rotational during the briefing yesterday (MMT/Mission Status) and the PAO has been switching back and forth today too.

I heard a request from the crew for AG2 to be privatised, but they did not say it was for a PMC. That bit is speculation. -

There were at least two PMCs, one just before the RPM I believe and a second shortly before/after docking. -

According to the NASA TV schedule from Harwood, the hatch opening should start in four minutes. Bears watching to see how the crew looks physically and emotionally when they enter and greet the ISS crew.
