"Lots of people in there"
*looks in the window*
"No there's not; I don't see anybody"
"Guess they got tired of you banging on the roof!"
*chuckles*

Now that's a bagfull of thermal covers.

And they've squeezed in another "Woo eee".

Launch lock bolts released from around the CBM's MMOD shield. Will be the final home of the JLM.

Sunrise as Mike peeks through...

Fantastic image of the golden rays of the rising sun illuminating Kibo and the astronauts. So appropriate with the Japanese flag there!

Commander Kelly peeking back at them. The centerline camera will be installed into this area. Finally thermal installation being removed. Checks being carried out to pre-empt the relocation of the JLM.

All they need now is an orbital laundry where they can drop off this bag.

2 hours and 34 minutes PET into EVA-2.

Japanese controllers are reporting good heater power to the Japanese RMS on the end of the JPM.
