• A small sharp edge as a result of the broken bolt, but pressing ahead as normal. Shouldn't be a problem.

• How far behind schedule are they?

• I'm a little surprised there was no glove check after that.

• I guess they will drop NOBL if time gets short?

• Taking some time to clean up extra tools before pressing ahead.

• Now that ACS part 2 is completed, would there be time in EVA 5 to install ALL of the NOBL's?

• Here's a nice shot of the two Mike's:

• Next step to install FCP anchors, then the Fastener Capture Plate itself.

  EVA 5 is 5:45 nominal planned. So there is time. I wonder since day 1 why NOBL 5 is not in the nominal EVA plan with 45 minutes to spare.

  Sorry to interrupt the flow of the posts, but how come he is able to move so fast between sites? Shouldn't he be using the "always tethered" rule?  I didn't see him using the tethers from the tool box back to telescope.
  
  If you can redirect to a simple answer thanks!!
  

  
  He is tethered. There are EVA tether guide wires above the sill of the payload bay on both sides. The primary reeled tethers of the free-floating person are hooked to that.

• FCP wasn't seating properly - trying again. Thinks a gasket is interfering.

• Checking gasket on back side of FCP.
  
  "Pretty stiff"
