Anybody know what procedure is currently being worked? Todays time line puts any robotics operations a few hours away.

It's a space earwig

Can someone tell me where the camera in destiny is pointed, towards unity or harmony?

Unity, you can see its pink walls, and the stuffed PMA-1 leading to Zarya.

Also, from this view the Cupola robotic workstation is further from the camara than the bike.

The petals in the port Harmony CBM are seen open in this image, as have been for some hours now since ground controllers commanded them so.

"Humor" going around various NASA e-mails at the moment...

Obviously based on the Russian Toilet problem, not Kibo!

Hehe..I hope the Japanese understand the humour and don't mistake it as an allusion to their fantastic module being a toilet hygiene product.

Sinus IV issue has stopped the prepress, but will pick up again shortly.

LOL, it's good to see the lighter side of what can be a very technical and intense group of very smart people.

I'm sure they'll understand. I hope.

History time on NASA TV:

43 years ago today, Ed White conducted the first US EVA:

You hope? Or you kibo?

45 minutes to the depressurization of the Quest Airlock. Right on the timeline for 11:30am EDT.

EVAers noting some comm issues, checks being carried out.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #34 on:** 06/03/2008 02:29 pm »

"This almost feels like a sim, huh?" in response to the comm troubleshoot. "Mike says he can hold his breath for a long time,"

They left the intercom plug disconnected inside the suit!

Now they're assessing on the ground, but it seems obvious they'll have to open the suit...

"I can hold my breath while the suit is open"

All you're missing right now is a bunch of bells and whistles. It's slightly irritating.

Once they go and open the suit, it will be a 2:1 makeup time with in-suit prebreath, assuming that the time is less than 10 minutes. Leak checks and purge will need to be repeated.

Appreciate the note!

Bit of a conference going on in the room...
