Special short PAO event @ around 9:30 EDT. That must be the President's call.

Awesome. Another first.

Yeah, saw that on REUTERS yesterday. ""US President Barack Obama, who - along with a group of middle school students - is to link up with the voyagers by telephone on Tuesday.""

Cool! They've not mentioned it on NASA TV yet from what I can tell. We'll have to go quote heavy on that and hope (and expect) it'll be better than when the Queen turned up at MCC.

The best bit about that was how completely and utterly nervous Mike Foale was. I mean, I don't blame him, but it was a bit weird to watch.

For the country. Yes, I know other Presidents have called, and it will be his first, but it is still a great moment. It may also bode well for other issues, but we shall not speculate or take more from it than we need to at this point.

Things have been going relatively smoothly, so it's nice to have some special moments to follow.

I noticed that later this morning, a task referred to as "oxygen system teardown" is on tap.  Can someone briefly describe what that is?  Thank you.
