Yeah, I think it's still the best idea to have this one combined, from the experienced of previous missions we've covered here - and given today's a more paced series of events (the RMS deploy will be fun, however). Plus it's a Saturday and the start of Euro 2008 (not that it means much to an Englishman :( )

Fossum and Ron will tomorrow have another look at the port SARJ, peeking under cover #2 while the joint is in a 330º angle.

Beatiful inside view of Kibo, although the cameras continue showing the annoying yellowish tint to the image. It's going to be nice when the 6 person crew is up, seeing these labs being utilized :)

Sorry guys, going to be unable to keep this up right now.  Not sure how much movement we can expect to see anyway.

PAO keeps saying don't expect much arm movement...seems the camera in one view shakes alot---is that due to people moving around inside the station, or thermal effects?

At least it's much better than the cameras in Columbus. First couple weeks it was both blurry, darkly lit, and wrongly tinted. Nowadays I think they have done a bit about the colour and focus but it's still worse than Kibo's.

First Kibo RMS motion completed - pitch down of the end effector by 2cm, "almost imperceptible" according to PAO.
