• It's wakeup time!
  
  The wakeup music is the theme from Wallace and Gromit for Steve.

• The OBSS is being maneuvered over port wing right now. Inspections of shuttle's nose has been completed few minutes ago. Earlier the starboard side of Atlantis had been checked. So far everything goes without problems. They are ahead of schedule I guess.

• A bit of a mark there. Although we (myself on this one) should remember the LDRI images via NASA TV can show some strange markings, whereas the DAT presentations show there's nothing there. Still...
