• This is going to be pushing on for an 8 hour EVA by the time they go back on to internal power!

  Yep, not great, unless it was Johnny 5, in which case it would have been slightly amussing..
  
  "RSU INPUT, NEEEED INPUT!!!"
  
  ..especially if the Indian fella and Steve Guttenberg were involved with the forward plan
  

  
  This comes to mind: A Johnny 5 quote:
  "numerous fragments, some large, some small"

  This has to be heading to be one of the longer EVAs in US spaceflight history.
  

  
  One of the longer, yes, but nowhere near longest.  As usual, Bill Harwood maintains some good cheat sheets on the subject:

  http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/evastats.html (ISS EVAs)
  
  The longest EVA was 8 hours and 56 minutes, performed by Susan J. Helms and James S. Voss on March 11, 2001, during the STS-102 mission to ISS.  They moved a docking port to make room for the MPLM and attach the Lab Cradle Assembly to the top of the lab.

  A quick Google claims that EVA-1 on STS-102 was 8 hours and 56 minutes.  Is that correct?
