• Thanks, everyone for the great coverage.  This is one of the most riveting EVAs in a while, and there's three more to go, with the biggee tomorrow!

• Well thats it for me..
  
  The good news is it is a long weekend in Canada with Victoria Day on Monday (long weekend at the cottage)
  
  The bad news is I will only have dial up access to the internet so no NASATV for me over the next three days.
  
  
  I will be counting on the updates from this forum to keep in touch with the next three spacewalks...
  
  
  On the bright side,,, with a long weekend, I will be Barbequing, Drinking Beer and igniting legal explosives (fireworks) in my backyard with my kids!!! 
  
  
  Have a good weekend all

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

  
  Yes, although that one wasn't all "work" time.  They got to spend a little bit of time waiting.

• EVA-2 duration: 7hrs 56 mins. 8th longest in history. Beats a Story Musgrave HST EVA, previously in 10th place.

  Yes, the EV crew today went above and beyond, but this only being the eighth longest in duration is a good illustration of a long history of crews doing so.

  PAO saying that the Story Musgrave / Jeff Hoffman EVA was 7:54 in duration.  I can see Story saying that the hatch closure difficulties at the end here was just a ruse to buy two minutes, in order to knock Story's EVA off the top 10 list!

• Got to be said, that was an awesome EVA. They'd of been ok with two RSUs, but even though they had to install a refurbished unit along with the two new units, they didn't settle for the minimum requirement.
  
  Good's debut EVA nearly eight hours, is that a record for a debut EVA?
• #432 by Chris Bergin on 15 May, 2009 20:56
• 20th HST EVA, making it a total of144 hours 24 minutes.
  
  6pm EDT (11pm UK) for the MSB.

  Not sure what the record is, but John Grunsfeld's first EVA on 103 with Steve Smith was 8 hours and 15 minutes.

• Thanks Philip.
  
  I hope PAO restrict the presser to one question each as you'd assume the participants would be completely worn out after today.

• Noted from a call by Alan Poindexter to Scott Altman a few minutes ago that there's still the issue with the FES from the morning...troubleshooting ahead when the crew has time.

  MCC-H calling Scooter over the FES. Notes of "it could have been an ice issue, but in a good config."
  
  Problem with Pri A on the FES. Requesting FES Pri B to off. Heater duct select A/B.
  
  Core flush possible post EVA, due to the signature of ice on Pri A - causing it to shut down.
  
  

  
  They will conduct the Core Flush. Proceedure on page 322 onwards of the STS-125 Malfunctions Checklist (L2).
