  What is the small dot next to the Moon? The orbiter? Coincidence?
  

  
  Venus.. it followed in conjunction with the moon and it also faded away and went behind the Earth. Shuttle wouldn't do that.

• MCC calling up some words on the TIG slip of greater than +7 minutes for the MC 2 burn. A new base time to calculate the burn was called up and will evaluate after final targeting of the burn.
  
  The calculated TIG slip is only permitted be be within -3 minutes and +7 minutes for the calculation of this burn.

• PAO quoting 1.5 FPS for the MC 2 burn.
  
  I believe this is on the large side for the MC 2 burn compared to previous flights. (Somebody who knows better please let us know).
