Dan saying farewell to the Station, now that he's only a few days away from Earth. Sharing his thoughts about how he was hanging around the Station the other day, while the EVA was going on, and Columbus outfitting as well: he was thinking it was almost like a promotional video from 15 years ago, saying how it'd be like to live in space. But now it's not wishful thinking, not a promo, it's real and happening right now! That's something I, personally, try to realise from time to time: a few years ago this was SF, and now some people behave like it's boring, or it's nothing of interest or utility. I really differ, speeches like Dan's help remember how important the ISS is, and is becoming with every next flight.
Also remembering his mother, and looking forward to seeing his wife and kids.

Didn't he say he was using the HD Camera? If so, I have something for the L2 wish list!

Sorry, I didn't hear it but I may have missed it. However, they have taken quite a bit of HD video during this flight, so hopefully they will make at least some part of it available (are you reading this, PAO?
)

Indeed, he did...
"And I just wanted to share two thoughts: one was a few days ago, during the EVA, I grabbed the high def camera"
I published a full transcript of the farewell
here.

Full flyaround will be performed after undocking. Also they mentioned landing ops for 20th and 21st, if required, which makes me wonder a little bit,.... But prelim. weather looks good for KSC on Wednesday.
Currently evening DPC ended on ISS. Atlantis starting to depress the vestibule.

Did I miss the MSB or was it moved? Nothing on this live thread yet, so I figure it has been moved.

No, it took place on time.
But as you can imagine, no hot topics were brought up.

Thanks to Robert for the transcript.

Their prop margins are good and they are on the B String on the heater that I wrote about for the FRCS Ox Press Line, so I can't see why not, but will double check to be totally sure.

For those of us who have trouble hearing sometimes, your transcript of the poignant parting remarks was extremely helpful. Thank-you!
