I have created a separate thread for discussion of the astronaut illness. I'm sure we all would appreciate it if any discussion on that topic moved over there, and perhaps moderators will consider moving errant posts to there instead of deleting them wholesale like yesterday. Already this morning, this FD4 thread's first page was full of it's-Hans / sez-who chatter 
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=11821
As my opnion is the same as NASA's, that the health of an astronaut is his private affair (as long as it does not put the goals of the mission at risk), I just would like to add an interesting note of the past here that nearly had this implication:
The situation reminds me of Apollo 9, when also an EVA had to be delayed. At that time NASA did not have to options of today with a seven-person crew - and a cancelled EVA then would have meant that the Lunar Module would have been (re-)tested on Apollo 10, and consequently Pete Conrad of Apollo 12 would be known as the first man on the Moon today...
As far as the Columbus mission is concerned: NASA had a long experience list in improvising and I am confident that Stan Love can do the EVA #1 tasks just as well as Hans Schlegel - as we will see tomorrow!

Would be nice if they replaced all cameras with HD's , that hand held HD camera yesterday was awesome in terms of res.. even if it was down converted for NTSC

FD4 Execute Package -> http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/211220main_fd04_exec_pkg.pdf
thanks -of note
"“lifted blanket corner” in this area means for
entry, but the OPO and MER is going to recommend that it be categorized as a "TPS
Degraded" case, which carries no restrictions on entry "as is"."
also "O2 needed for additional docked day: 28.5 lbm (41.5 KWH)" - not much in the way of weight..
more good news
" we anticipate that
we will be able to make a 12+1+2 mission as well as have O2 to transfer to ISS"
also -
" 583 Regions of Interest were identified on the RCC
from the FD2 inspection."

Have the HD cameras just had them "delivered" and installed up there recently? - not heard mention of them before yesterday..

Hi,
What's 12+1+2 mean? - shouldn't it be 12+1+1 or 12+2?
Thanks

That means 12 nominal days, 1 contingency day, and 2 weather days.

The executive package does not take into account the ongoing meetings. There has not been a decision on the OMS Pod yet.

Lets not get too carried away with this HD thing! The station has been using HD camcorders for soemtime. As the system grow they are able to downlink the AV O/Ps from the camera as data, hence by passing the usual ISS audio systems.
As for being in HD resoultion as far as the ground station, thats probabbly pushing the comms circuits a little bit too much

Hi guys. I'm new to this forum so I have a lot of catching up to do.
I tuned into NASA TV about an hour ago and Peggy was showing the camera a bag of something that looked like foam rubber discs and then pulled out something that looked like an old tape deck reel. They were talking about some kind of damage that had occurred. Was this some stuff that rode up on the STS-122, like it broke loose during liftoff? Does anyone know what they were talking about?

my bad..
section in the exec package reads- "The MMT
has not yet had a chance to discuss what a “lifted blanket corner” in this area means for
entry, but the OPO and MER is going to recommend that it be categorized as a "TPS
Degraded" case, which carries no restrictions on entry "as is". Of course, this is preliminary
and based on the view that we have. The Focused inspection will tell us more, but we just
wanted you to know how it is seen at this time."

Welcome to the site's forum. Hmmm, not entirely sure. Anyone catch that?

This isn't particularly helpful, but going back (time-slip is cool
) it looked like a transfer bag and the discussion sounded like trash collection. (Peggy called it "the 1073 bag" if that helps someone more knowledgeable about transfer.) Peggy was talking about parts of something (a "flex pack assembly"?) that went in a Progress a while back as trash.

Well, that makes sense, I guess. I just thought I heard about something being damaged, but it was toward the end of that conversation when I tuned in so I probably misunderstood.

Thats right. These flex pack were used for RED(Resistive Exercise Device).
