hmmm.. ok, I KNOW I am imagining this but what are those squiggly lines running along outside the module (highlighted in yellow)
Are they cables, wire.... certainly NOT stress fractures?

Some good stuff, and a lovely comment from Kenn Ham.
On Atlantis' "final" mission:
Kenn: "There is potential for her to fly again, but she's served us well. We thank the entire team for putting her together to fly for us."
On ISS after shuttle:
"We'll need to learn how to best manage resources" (whilst noting more vehicles will come up. There's a lot of spares on board, there's not a lot of items outstanding that require the shuttle payload's size."
Question about oil slick.
Piers: "Been too busy to see it, but when you get to travel around the planet you get to see the footprint of man, some of it good, some of it bad. People will eventually get to look after the planet."
What's that on your leg? (checklist)
Piers: "It's my brain"
About what they'll tell the kids on their acomplishments:
"There's nothing like it. Spacewalking is the most outlandish thing I've got to do. I'm 5ft 4in and they laughed at me when I said I wanted to do spacewalks. Steve had the lion's share of the tasks. We had some difficult moments, but the sense of elation when we fixed it is something I'll always remember."
Great work from MSNBC. -

Fox News being very tinpot with the audio messed up and putting the crew through what sounds like a receptionist.
What on Earth are they playing over the loop. Fox news has some angry politics show playing. Mute the stupid thing.
This is very disrespectful. -

HA! Houston ACR decide enough is enough and say "Fox News will not be participating." Well done!

CNN up now.
"What's it like up there?"
Kenn: The place is much bigger than when I was here two years ago. Seeing the entire Earth in the Cupola is spectacular."
Piers "You could lose people on here, it's huge."
"What's it like to be on this last shuttle" (I hope he means last Atlantis flight - he's corrected himself).
"It's bittersweet and something I never anticipated seeing all three of the shuttles."
On EVAs:
"We train really hard for it, it's strange and it's outlandish."
Can you see the oil spill and volcanic ash?
Oleg: "About oil, 30 mins ago we passed over the Mexican Gulf and took lots of pictures. It's not good and I feel not good about it. The ash, we can see the ash especially in the evening. We can't see the volcano. We can monitor many of these events from Station, it's very useful."
On working with the Americans:
Alexandar: "I am glad to work with American cosmonauts and astronauts. I know very good Kenn Ham"
Event ends.

Uh oh, they are giving Fox News another go.
"The people spat on me" (again, they have more stuff on the war over the loop). Again asking them to hold. Sounds like this is going to be live at least.
Yep, it's live: "The most extraordinary interview of the day"
HA! And Houston cut off the interview after one question! That'll teach them.

MSB in 30 minutes. Not seeing any post-MMT briefing on the NTV schedule...which is usual as there's no big issues.
Are they cables, wire.... certainly NOT stress fractures?
