Thanks a lot Chris. I got to said that the russian post-docking conference isn't as polished and organized as the US ones ... ;-)

Press conference's in Russia are intimidating as hell. Their PAO's look like hitmen!

Brazilian reporters claim the launch of Soyuz TMA8 actually interupted a football (soccer) match on national TV......and that says a lot.

Missed the live coverage, but watching the replays of the videos (thank you) that was very fast. I think it looks like they docked while coming into the sun's light?

That is correct. It started over the mid Atlantis (darkness) and the docking took place over China (in daylight).

Wish I had taped this part of the post docking conference, but they talked about this:
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?id=4376(Paraphrase): She has expressed her interest previously and we are not yet going to announce it as we are in final discussions on this and she is one of the candidates.

If that is the docking port area they are in, it looks more cramped than what I am used to seeing in the ISS. More of a MIR type looking shot. Hopefully they will have the bell ringing still since its a different port

Thanks for the excellent coverage and from 3am to 7:30am in the morning UK time! I don't think any amount of coffee would allow me to be able to do that!
