Is it just me, or does it seem like we don't hear much of anything from Greg Johnson the last few days? Is he still on board?
Hiding in a middeck locker maybe?

Which old mission was it when they filmed one of the crew hiding in a locker? Really funny video if anyone can find it.
Betcha Philip will know

This whole mission, 5 EVAs, all the objectives accomplished, was great. The whole team did just what
they set out to do!!

They stowed and unstowed Joe Allen from a middeck locker on STS-51A.

Wow.

Impressive. 3 minutes for an answer. That's gotta set some kind of speed record.

HGA dish gimbal underway. Very noticeable in the right picture.

Handing over to Orbit 2 team. Saying now that LGA looks like it will be okay.

It was shown many times on CNN; easy to remember when you're 15 and it's only the 14th shuttle flight.
For video, I'd check the crew's mission presentation (Google Video?).

"This is a really tremendous adventure that we've been on, a very challenging mission.
Hubble isn't just a satellite-it's about humanity's quest for knowledge."

Video of STS-51A
Stowage of the crew member is at 6:43
Getting back on track: did anyone catch the EVA total hours for Hubble and the individual crew (posting from work)?

HST being rotated...I missed a part of the conversation last night talking about sleep shifting, but they're talking about it now...sounds like they are setting up to pull in de-orbit opportunities one rev earlier, which would require the crew to get up one rev earlier. Still under discussion.

And Hubble is being rotated back to its original position.

Someone asked the question before and I am not sure if it was answered. When the orbitor approached the HST, the HGA were retracted. When they release the HST they be extended. Why, is it because of the possibility of hitting them on approach of the orbitor?

...?
anybody else understand the comment just now (I think by Scooter)
that we "are ready for the early de-orbit" when talking to Houston?
[edit] followed by comments concerning this evenings PMC "which will have a couple extra people involved", and "imaging capability"
...just curious

One issue would be protection from plume impingement by the orbiter thrusters.
