Beat me to it!

They aren't concered by the thermal blanket tab that's popped up on a wire during JEM RMS ops.

I'm surprised this isn't the kind of task that can't be performed without disconnecting the entire rack and going in through the back. It seems to me one of the original design considerations for such a system would be easy swap out of front facing modules.

Kelly appears to have finished work with the BCM (aka bank safebox!), as he's closing the panel behind the rack (not with a PGT, but a regular drill) and was talking with MCC-H about powering it up before rotating the rack back into position. They have done so now, and the newly configured BCM appears to be working nominally inside the Avionics Rack inside Quest, so they're go to install it back.

Continuing work in JEM meanwhile:

here's a pic taken through a Kibo portal
That's definately one for the desktop!!
let me know if you'd like a hi-rez version, as I have access to the hi-rez files for all of the photos I've been posting

Yes Please - I tried to look it up on the NASA Gallery using the serial number of the photo - no luck.

Garrett's got a bag full of OGS items, and is showing the camera for the Huntsville people.

Interesting that the Russia-Spain soccer match worked it's way into the Russian tagup. :) The interpreter sounded particularly cheerful today.

Be thankful there's no Italians onboard, as they'd be heading for the airlock after being destroyed by the Dutch in an amazing footballing masterclass just now. Ironically, I think the last time a result was passed up on the loop was when Italy won the World Cup. (STS-121?)

15 mins to the PAO event.

Putting flags for the conference (if it was tomorrow, there should be a Spanish flag in place of the Russian ;) ):

Promoting HDTV, interesting! :)

Asking how well do the astronauts think high definition captures the feeling of real visuals of space.

Bill Harwood asks about the SARJs.

"There's no similarities between the starboard and port SARJs. It's just a fine, powder like, particles on the port. Nothing like the starboard side."

Good question about the SARJ.
I also liked the one about sleeping in space and the one about Buzz Lightyear and the future.
It's definately just the beginning!
Hoping for a future of NASA manned spaceflight

The toilet questions soon became a thing of the past, thankfully!
