Mike saying theyre doing a great job at maintaining the pace. From KSC perspective, they'll be well-ready. Looking forward to having two birds on the pads again. Vehicles are right on schedules so no issues. Press conference ending.

That was Fox reporter being polite and asking the JAXA head about the significance of the launch.

Thanks Bob.

(Payload bay door opening replay showing.)

Right -- as the staff here has reported for a while, the orbiters are fat on time, so to speak; it's the two tanks that will pace the integration milestones.
