Trying to install a Ventilation jumper and they are having issues. 

Doing a handover now will have words after.

So did Nyberg and the Japanese MS take a lunch break or something - letting the other folks in there to move ahead with the tasks?

But man that hatchway is crowded right now.

You have NO idea how hard it was to do the preliminary designs on those vestibule jumpers and fittings (waaaaaay back in the early 90's - no, I'm not making up that timeframe!).

The other folks are doing their regularly-scheduled activities.  We are almost 2 hours down on the pre-flight timeline right now (vestibule outfit part 1 was supposed to be done at 12:32 Eastern time).

No telemetry on Chanel B because Kibo is not hooked up to Multiplexer-Demultiplexer.

Well, Karen came floating in to look at the Kibo hatch a minute or so ago.. lots of people crammed into the node!  It's fun watching Karen flying around followed by zero-G long hair!!

Looks like half the crew working in the Vest.  Waiting I'm guessing for the PWR up to be complete.

With that I have to sign up and get back to work.  Hope I lightend the load Chris!

Offline Chris Bergin

Activation of DC to DC is completed (First step). (Thanks Andy :) )

Indeed it reminded me of those stunts where as many people as possible would cram into a telephone booth.  ;D
