  Didn't hear it, but they had bad audio at the start and it cut off before they actually left.

• Is it correct that according to current plan, Nicole is the last U.S. astronaut to return home via Shuttle?
• #117 by Space Pete on 24 Nov, 2009 17:01
• I really wish the NASA TV PAO wouldn't talk over the live audio, especially when they are spouting irrelevant facts that no-one is interested in hearing right at that moment!
  
  Also, the thing that was stuck on Nicole's back was her item number in the transfer logs - "Item 914"!
