• Personally the association of either ISS or shuttle with a turkey disturbs me.  "Houston, Tranquility base here.  The Turkey has landed."

  For once I think this is funny. It's a great follow-through for the whole mission: daily execute packages and all. It's been fun reading.
  
  Come on, we might not get this opportunity in another year, enjoy it! I am!
  
  I also hope Nicole can make it to her class reunion on the weekend. However from past experience with other long-duration ISS members, it will be tough. I'm sure even Bob Thirsk will be in some some trying days after he lands. Six months in zero g is a long time.

• If Atlantis land tomorrow how long will it be then a Shuttle launch on the first attempt and land on the first attempt?

  She was there for 3 months, so hopefully she can pull it off

  Is Ben Franklin in the MCC? He might approve
