• Excellent diagrams and comparisons.  Shannon not expecting this to be an issue.  Now touching on the GNC issue.

• Computer problem was caused by the computer not starting up correctly. A dump of the meory state will be downlinked and then the computer will (basically) be rebooted.

  Hope he will be better fast.

• Pad 'best it's ever looked post launch.'  Looking great for mating Endeavour next week.  SRB performace was excellent.

• Now getting to the medical issue
• #427 by Gary on 09 Feb, 2008 20:16
• Shannon on medical issue - "No impact to mission but activities will be rearranged". Obviously not giving any details.
• #428 by nathan.moeller on 09 Feb, 2008 20:17
• Medical issue with the crew apparently.  Was discussed during the rendezvous.  Not going to impact mission.  Some schedule rearranging expected.  Love replaces Schlegel on EVA-1.

• SRB's in port - SRB video expected by Tues eve.

• Confirmed: Hans Schlegel not on EVA 1 and reason for PMC's.
• #431 by nathan.moeller on 09 Feb, 2008 20:18
• First mission extension day added.
• #432 by psloss on 09 Feb, 2008 20:18
• They are doing a little more aggressive orbiter powerdowns to be able to get a second extension day.
• #433 by nathan.moeller on 09 Feb, 2008 20:19
• Bill asking if the medical issue involves Schlegel and if it's life threatening.  Shannon won't say who and it's not life or mission threatening.  Mark pressing for details on the issue but Shannon correctly holds his ground.
  
  Shannon is excellent with briefings.  He gives the information he has while respecting the necessary privacy of the crew and issues.

• Well at least it's not a life threatening issue and a mission ending issue.

• Irene wins the dumb question award... I'll take follow up in the dumb media thread..

  great answer from John Shannon in response to press wanting more info on the medical problem - His answer "no".

  
  After the first no, Shannon's expression for the follow up was priceless.

  It's confirmed that he's not on EVA 1, but not that he's the one who's ill.  We can assume it for obvious reasons, but Shannon's not confirming anything.

• Hans Schlegel is probabbly sugffering a bit of space sickness, you don't what him throwing up in the suit during an EVA, so they will park him.  It could be he feels great tomorrow and goes back in as the EVA member in 2 days time,  Remember Rusty S in Apollo 9

• I guess this is what Chris was talking about.  Right?  Gurantee, this will be in the first minutes of the national news broadcasts tonight.
  
  BTW, I can not reply and/or send new PMs/messages on this site.  Anyone else tried or had this issue?
