Well it's Colbert himself at least
And he has an audience in.
"Greetings Spacemen, heros all".
"Greetings people of the Earth." HA!
Enjoys saying the words "Commander Ham".
Lost Ku and says "I can't see you, but I assume space still exists." - and they are back. Asks how the mission is going. Outlines it with the additional of "and we defeated the forces of evil."
Replaced batteries on the shuttle (he means ISS).
They keep losing Ku, this is getting a bit painful.
I wish they would correct him on "repairing the shuttle."
Suspicous accent aimed at Piers. "Is he riding in the space shuttle or the space lorry" lol.

Brilliant interview by the ABC guy. Distracted from transcribing, but I'm sure Ron's recording (and John 44). Shame someone's actually told them to stop calling Atlantis a she - and whoever that was, you sir are a walking own goal for public outreach (outrage
)

"Houston, I'm not wearing any pants"- Stephen Colbert

Was this done by direction, or did Captain Bowen mis-speak when he used "it?" -

The Crew taped the Colbert interview on there side. So they are going to downlink it to Houston as there were some drop outs during the live transmission

MSB coming up. We have an article ready to go for the TPS clearance (just don't want to jump the gun as far as the MMT making it official - have to follow their process).

Tony S:
Atlantis and her crew had a very successful morning, preparing for the return trip home. FCS and RCS all nominal. Performed landing sims.
SIMPLEX burn on OMS coming up. Crew sleep at 3:20pm Central.
Late Inspection: Prelim shows no issues with TPS, will be discussing that with the MMT for official go for Entry.
Weather: There's an influence near KSC with a chance of showers, but it's a 50/50 chance with KSC weather. Trending favorably.
Good for EOM+3. KSC only on EOM. KSC only on EOM+1. Pick em day on EOM+2. May change.
Looking at KSC 33 for landing.

Robert up first on crew getting ahead of schedule during the mission.
Tony: The deorbit prep timeline is pretty busy, they'll keep on the schedule. There's a lot of things we have to have timed.
And on Atlantis' potential final flight - sense of pride/sorrow? (Robert, you call her an it!
)
Tony: It's been a great ride, but our focus right now is to get Atlantis on the ground. We'll have time to celebrate after wheel's stop.
Marcia on Weather:
Tony: It's KSC and there's a low parked out at the Atlantic. We're going into it 50/50. Edwards has a chance of showers (but not going there).
Beyond tomorrow, KSC continues to improve. Edwards is looking good also.
Tariq on weather and not calling up Edwards for two days.
Tony: Normally all things considered we try for KSC only on the first day. Things are looking really well to support KSC for the first two days, but we'll continue to re-evaluate.
Bill on weather - KSC specific.
Tony: Updated weather is likely to remove chance of showers on Wednesday.
On water to Friday.
Tony: We have seven opportunities with water. We're in a pretty good situation.
Over.
And he has an audience in.
