• Here's a first. Atlantis is going to say a few words!
  
  "I'd like to thank the KSC engineers for preparing me for this flight, and I had a lot of fun teasing MRM-2 on Station. GO EXTENSION, WOOOO" - oh, they've turned the mic off.

• Crew getting a turn at the mic now.
  
  "I don't know how I can put this. We had an amazing mission. It's not about JSC, KSC, MSFC, it's one huge integrated team. The Station is an amazing place. I had a cast of five around me, they were awesome, I was extreemly lucky. Station is just incredible, just like shuttle, amazing vehicle. We want to thank you all."

• Good job Atlantis and NASA! STS-129 was most likely the smoothest mission I've ever seen. Now Atlantis gets towed to the OPF to undergo its last ever processing to a mission, STS-132.

• Tweaking Feb 4th launch to Feb 6th based on making sure landing took place today.

• Crew is fine, operations going well on the ground.
• #219 by Chris Bergin on 27 Nov, 2009 16:00
• Back. Noting Gerst about being hungry and using instrumentation like the MEI stinger.
