Obviously, by the questions the AP and other story concentration over the next news period will be that dang tear.

FD's handling these questions very well. Not speculating at all...giving the answers with the knowledge he has and nothing more. This is excellent. He sounds extremely optimistic about everything that's going on.

Hmm, pretty much dismissed any health concerns. But he's yet to hear any details...hopefully everyone is fine and the apple is green.
I would have thought that anything to do with a crew members health is confidential and thus he cant say anything if he did know?

We'll get more of the same questions at the post MMT briefing with John Shannon.

He shouldn't know. a PMC is exactly that - Private.
That's why he said everyone is doing fine as far as he knows. Briefing concluding.

Seems that the blanket is the BIG news simply because everything else is ticking over quite nicely.
Well obviously, but it is big news as per TPS inspections. It was noted last night (Houston). We gained info and images this morning (GMT) and ran with it, but other media are just now catching up, so the amount of questions are expected.
This will be ongoing as they work on if it requires a focused inspection and a special EVA repair.
Part and parcel of a shuttle mission. They'll fix it if they need to.
What I would note is it won't be the biggest news of the mission.
Will be writing a second article on this based on additional information.

3 small pieces of foam falling off at launch was massive news for some news channels. They wont report anything good to have come from this mission, so have to report negative things, despite how small of an issue

I agree 100%, Maybe it just me, but other than Bill Harwood's question, all the questions asked at this briefing were much more appropriate for the MMT briefing this afternoon with John Shannon, not the daily MSB; TPS issues have no bearing to the matters that should be discussed at the MSB. I wish the NASA PAO would make it more clear to the media beforehand to ask mission activity questions to the MSB briefers only and leave the technical TPS questions to the MMT briefers. Anyways, I don't want to move this thread away from FD 3 coverage, so I'm going back to watch the mission.

OV-107 - 9/2/2008 1:55 PM
Please nasa!
Try to planning this next time so the astronauts boarding of the station not will happen when the ku is down!
If itīs possible.
Umm, no. It's possible, but requires prox ops stationkeeping, and therefore will not be done because it's a waste of time and prop. Ku is not a requirement. Period.

OBSS unberthed
OV-107 - I'd like to see the TV coverage planned as well, but you have to understand that these missions are extremely busy and must be planned around necessary flight operations. IMO, it's EXTREMELY gracious of NASA to go through the trouble of having a PAO that allows us to watch all of this as it is.

The OBSS is being unberthed by Leland Melvin using the ROBO station inside the Destiny lab from the starboard still of Atlantis and handed over to the SRMS so it can be parked overnight and for tomorrow's Columbus unberthing activities.

Wow, the video from inside Destiny is really sharp -- is that a HD camera? Even if its being downconverted, it still looks great.
