"Did anyone think the ambient noise level was louder in the Zvezda module than it was in the Harmony node?"
Yes, it is ALWAYS much higher.

Looking over my notes, this is not the first crew member to be replaced on an ISS EVA.
Back in January 2003, EXP-6 flight engineer Don Pettit replaced Nicolai Budarin due to medical concerns.

Replay of MSB with Shannon coming up. Can anybody snag that clip of him and his 'fish all day/I won't bite' quote?

Warned people about this before and seen as some didn't listen, I'm deleting this thread back to the LIVE UPDATES FOR THIS FLIGHT DAY.
Thanks!

PAO just replaying audio after noting that Dan Tani and Leo Eyharts have completed the main parts of the crew member exchange. So now Tani is part of the STS-122 crew and Eyharts is part of the Expedition 16 crew. This was moved up as part of the replanned timeline.

They're saying Tani's Soyuz seat liner will be stored in Columbus so it can be returned on a later shuttle flight, as there's not really any place for it to come home on Atlantis this time.

Eyharts is the first ESA Expedition crewmember.
Except for Reiter.

I think this pretty much wraps up FD3. They're just replaying in-cabin and in-station videos of rendezvous and docking operations.

Thomas Reiter was under contract to NASA and not considered an ESA crewmember.
A statement directly contradicted by both his NASA bio and his ESA one, where is identified as taking part in ESA's first long-duration ISS mission.

There was some confusion about Reiter. He does come from ESA and is an ESA astronaut. However, for Expedition 14, he was actually contracted to NASA and was considered to be a NASA ISS Expedition crewmember. Eyharts is the first that ESA has specifically. Each partner in ISS has a certain number of slots they can use for their own astro/cosmonauts. Quotas, as it were. Eyharts is the first one of ESA's allotment. Since Reiter was under NASA, his spot counted against NASA's quota (i.e. he took up a spot that a NASA astronaut could have had instead) and not ESA's. That was, I believe, part of a barter deal NASA had with ESA where ESA provided NASA something (I don't recall what at the moment but I think it was with Italy, maybe partly for Node 3?) and NASA "paid" for it by manifesting one of their guys instead of a NASA astronaut.
Sorry for the slightly off-topic clarification
This VTR playback kicks that word that Peggy didn't say but sounded like she did. I enjoy the video from shuttle more because most of the time all we get is the Destiny camera.

Could this John Shannon comment go into the halls of fame? I still enjoy reading Chris' Paul Hill article:
