1 hour down in the timeline confirmed. They want to continue with the nominal EVA plan and get all the tasks completed now.

Sounds like the spacewalkers are up for getting some more Oxygen and staying out there to get some more tasks done?
What are the constraints for how long they can stay out there? - oxygen, battery power and tiredness?
Oxygen they can refill, battery they obviously can't?

Update on the EVA, EVA #1 is a little over a hour behind the timeline, current PET is 5 hours 30 minutes, they need to end this EVA by a PET of 7 hours 30 minutes as both suits are O2 limited, they can go back to the airlock for a O2 recharge if needed. MCC-H wants to complete all EVA #1 activities on this EVA as planned pre-EVA, but told the EVA crew that it is their call on what they want to do.
42 minutes to sunset, complex passing northeast of New Zealand.

Safety tethers are getting wrapped around the EVAers, a common event during some EVAs.

Doing plans for the O2 recharge.
And the problematic tethers are untangled.

Go for Columbus unbearth (didn't we already have that?)

How long does the O2 recharge take? - do they just have some kind of hose on the outside of the airlock they plug into their tank?

Yes, it's been given 3 times I think. Probably just they were refining some issues and they're given the go ahead every time they think they're ready.

EVA crew will go back to the airlock now to stow some tools and do a quick O2 repress/fill of their suits and wait for further words on the NTA install prep. activities from MCC-H on whether to do those preps on this EVA.
The PRLAs are unlatched, (payload bay latches are open) and Columbus is starting to rise out of the payload bay.
35 minutes to sunset, complex 210 miles over the south Pacific Ocean.
