I think that's what I heard too.

MSB!

Nothing much going on.

Undock tomorrow at 7:42 AM EDT with a 360 degrees flyaround as normal. Late Inspections tomorrow, there is an extra day between undocking and landing, so they can analyze the Late Inspection photos.

Scans will be exactly the same as the FD2 scans. Marcia Dunn was asking if there was any difference because they have not done the true FD2 scan.

Matt Abbot says the weather looks pretty decent for landing on Saturday, but there are no true answers as he has been focused on the on-orbit portion of the mission.

MSB concluded!

Oooh! The PAO called Discovery a "her". *Falls off chair*.

Non event of a MSB otherwise.

Makes sense, Naval vessels are called "she" in the US, while in Russia they are called "he/him" so I guess Soyuz is a male. Lets not compare docking systems

My fault for going off topic, but it won't get busy here between the final EVA and pre-reentry, so.....

I believe the USN installed some form of PC to stop calling their ships "her" (NavySpaceFan?). I don't think the Royal Navy have, as I know some lads on HMS York (undergoing a major refit) who refer to that ship as "her".

I've always called the orbiters "shes" in the articles, as the first engineers I got to talk to many moon ago always called the vehicles "her" etc. Be it OV-103, or Discovery, the "she" reference was always there. So it's stuck.

Anik once told me the Russians called Progress a "he", not sure about Soyuz.
