How many years have they been waiting for this. I am sure they won't mind a little overtime to get the job done that they have trained for. They would be disappointed if they didn't.
I know that when I see the pictures from Hubble in the future, I will have a different sense of the pictures having watched this repair live.

Moving on to the battery replacement task - here's a couple of pages from the EVA checklist reference section for orientation.

I love this "let's stay out here and press on until we get this stuff done" attitude. It seems so unlike NASA. Talking about getting more O2 for the suit. Is this pushing the envelope or what? Incredible mission. Incredible crew. Incredible attitude.
I had to do a double-take on that too (from reading). Definitely not used to hearing something like that on ISS, but this is most likely the last servicing mission, so they are willing to take the risk.
Great bunch these guys & gals.

I suppose there isn't much need to push it on ISS since tasks that don't get done can be moved to a stage EVA if necessary. There won't be another trip to Hubble

Not particularly fair to earlier teams. This is exemplary, but I'm not surprised that the ground or the flight crew are willing to do this.
