Asking if Tony can miss the PAO event.
"I don't think we can do that or Mr Navias might be very angry."
"Are you sure, Tony has a great face for radio" heh.
Tony is now allowed to miss the PAO event.

Seems this PAO event is getting into the way. They need to deconflict the EVA tag up with the event.
They also want Tony back for the PAO event.
"But he can stand at the back so they can't see much of him" (poor guy heh!)
"He just wants to hold the camera" is the response.

Marcia Dunn up first.
Peirs: We're hoping to get a look in about an hour.
Sir Isaac got a ride in Cupola.
Tracy hasn't had a chance to look at the oil slick. Other members have and report it's a bit heartbeaking.
Taking a break and recharing batteries. Some slept in this morning, they are very tired. Enjoying views out of Cupola.

Fox News radio - live and organized
"Likely the last flight of Atlantis and how's she holding up" (I like this guy!
Tony: Atlantis is holding up great and she's holding up great and she's a beautiful ship. Hoping for another flight but we'll let the program managers decide.
Can any of you see your home towns or the oil slick.
Peirs: We've been working in Cupola. It's just beautiful, like being in IMAX but real life.
Asking about Peirs being British and what he's doing with a piece of Sir Isaac Newton's Apple Tree.
Peirs: RSL asked me to take that up with a picture of Sir Newton. It's floating, not hitting his head.
On Shuttle ending and children's future in space.
Tracy: gives a "if it's in their hearts" politically correct answer.

CBS News - Peter King and Bill Harwood.
Asking Kenn on the Commanders view on how the mission is proceeding.
Kenn: "I started scaring myself on what was invovled with MRM-1 docking. We were elated. EVA-2 was performed flawlessly and got us on time. We were all absolutely thrilled with how this mission has gone."
For Peirs on Robotics.
Peirs: "Tracy and I have been hanging in this glass bubble, you can see everything, the shuttle and station and it's so much easier to see what you're doing and much better than watching it all on TV."
On MRM-1
Tracy: "The Russian crewmates have just looked inside and it sounds like it's full of stuff. A little bit of work to be done before we can go inside. It's a great addition and especially for our Russian segement. We can get some relief for stowage and work experiements."
On EVAs
"The only thing I hope for is to get them back in safe. We're going to finish the last two batteries with some toolbox resupply toolbox. Have some ammonia jumpers to reconnect. We're going to study it up this afternoon.
On launching on a Soyuz and long duration.
Tracy: "It's a bit different than Shuttle. Florida is more fimilar, so the mission starts earlier than the rocket lighting. Very different between the solids and the liquids. Soyuz hangs on its launch pad is interesting, much more yawing and gs involved with Soyuz. I could go on and on, the differences are very unique and curious, but I felt very safe in it."
Event over.
