• Talking about ASA 1.
  
  Lots of people been busy looking at it in the failure mode.  Have determined that they want to turn the ASA 1 power to OFF.  ASA 1 will come back on prior to re-entry.

• Surprised Alan Poindexter is CAPCOM for this mission.  Wasn't he CAPCOM for the last mission.

  No. OMS-2 takes the orbiter far from the ET and breakup is well after OMS-2.

• Crew is 5 minutes from the scheduled sleep period, but busy with a few pre-sleep activities.  Orbit 3 arriving on console now, getting their handover.
