Amazing how much it's similar to working underwater. They handle the big guy in his heavy EMU as if he's made of foam

And they're both out now.

SAFER off Mike, both EVAers now fixed in positions.

I assume the hardline comm is routed through loudspeakers in the vestibule.

Hoshide and Nyberg in Kibo.

Must be easy to get stuck hanging in mid-air there!

Kelly has a special trick to get the guys out of their EMU's. He stands on the waist ring and pushes off with his arms to pop him out.

Is Garrett watching the Colbert report as he exercises?

Lots of nice shots of Mike getting congratulated by the rest of the crew.

Mike and Garrett:

Quick question, as I'm unable to watch NASA-TV right now: is the mission briefing still set for the previously scheduled time (in about 45 minutes)? Just wondering if there has been an announced change. Thanks.

I've not heard anything to suggest that the briefing will not be at announced time (so far)
