I just watched the conference ( been trying to watch as much nasa tv as possble ) and its so awesome to see a guy Leland Melvin's size on station. He looks about 2x the size of Peggy LOL.
I was wondering, is he the largest astronaut to fly on ISS?
What an impressive mission, again. Its great to see the Europeans represented and so excited about getting to work. I will never get over how amazing it is to watch the station being built. NASA is back baby, great job! -

Hey Richard, thanks for the newsletter, now we know what Peggy said when asked about worries with the satellite destruction.
Right now we can see a pair of activities taking place in the Station: de-configuring EMUs and getting them ready for the next EVA, and more Columbus outfitting by Hans and Leopold.
MSB at 1 pm EST.

Good view of one of BioLab's drawers stretched out:

What the hell was that passing in the view just then? Slow moving object, then changed direction at speed, stoped then changed color before shooting away in the direction it came???

Anyone capture whatever that was on the camera view? Never seen anything like that before and they changed views on the camera pretty fast.

Inside or outside? I was reading some other threads and wasn't paying much attention to the views, so I can't say. But I saw the outside view for a moment, and by the way you describe it, I'd guess it was a lens reflection: they can move slowly and then rapidly, change color depending on the angle and always disappear in the same direction they appeared.

Outside. Was behind Atlantis too, so that's how I don't think it's ice or anything. Was doing all manner of strange movement. Never seen anything like that before. They were starting to focus in before they switched back to Columbus.
I've seen ice and all that crap on youtube, this was very different, but was over in a matter of seconds. -

O2 transfer from Atlantis to Quest starting momentarily. Total amount is 92 pounds, 14 hours to complete.

Peggy working in the EDR, checking the cameras there. There are a number of cameras, that will be used to survey different small experiments to be located inside this rack. Eyharts will be outfitting the Fluid Science Lab and Schlegel will continue with BioLab this afternoon.

Good news! that is significantly more than they thought they would get, even by yesterday's estimates. -

Can someone remind me why they weren't able to fly the CMG down on STS-118? It seems like they could have put it on the space vacated by the new CMG brought up by that mission.

Because of ESP-3... -

on nasa tv, I just heard them call up to the ISS that they were going to be "starting up the CCA" (or something like that), and it was going to be making a lot of noise, so "sleep was prohibited". (that was obviously a funny.) what are they going to be starting up?

I think that's the O2 transfer, they said a while ago the same about the noise. Not sure if that CCA is something related...

Noise is oxygen recharge compressor assembly pump (ORCA).
