I wonder how many questions Hans will be asked about his illness. Wagers anyone?

Great statement from Love. Basically said he was proud to be part of the team that added a dedicated science lab to station. Uh oh, here comes Dunn :O

Good question from the CBS reporter. Asked the rookies about their re-entry experience. 'It was a wonderful experience' - Poindexter

First question to Hans is not about his illness! Who'da thunk it?

Briefing ended. Do you think maybe they told the press not to ask about Hans's illness beforehand?

LOL, shuttle's entourage cracks me up. It also gives me a clear idea of shuttles size. What an AMAZING piece of hardware!
The air conditioning vehicle reminds me of something out of Dr Seuss. And the Convoy Command Vehicle reminds me of the one out of the movie "Stripes". 'one heavily armed recreational vehicle'

Probably not. I was just surprised that after the first half of the mission was dominated by "sick astronaut" stories, no one asked him about it at the crew press conference. Ah well. A great job on STS-122 all around, sick crewmember or not.

I'm waiting for Irene and Mark to write their recaps on how the mission objectives were not reached because of the illness.
Cue crickets...

Congratulations on a successful first mission of 2008, Atlantis. Good luck on the outfitting for the HST!

Is it just me, or does this string of near perfect missions reinforce the impression that the Shuttle is just in its prime and should not be retired?
Lets double the NASA budget for 7 years and build the replacement while the shuttle is still flying.
Simplistic view I know.
