Lots of interesting robotics ops today. The first of which should start at around MET 2/15:20:00 (About 3 1/2 hours time) (according to the preflight, flight plan, this may differ in todays execute package).
Allow subject to scream. In space no one will hear.

Thanks Carsten. So we're three hours away from S6 Unberth at this time. Less than 30 minutes to wake up.

While post-sleep is happening, thought I would post this:

And let's leave it at that with the bat (the above post is fine, but don't want to see 50 posts responding to it), as the mission is far more important.

Orbit 1 now on.
