Cool, some of the STS135 NASATweetup folks just got to talk to Ron Garan on the ISS one on one a moment ago! How awesome would that be!
All they need is Atlantis to launch now!

Mentioned a couple of minutes ago, by person narrating the final bits of activity in the White room area...as they were at the hatch door area. Closeout crew member was checking the "Bergin" switch or valve. You will hear it on any replay.
I didn't know that you sneaked your way into there, Chris. Great job over the years covering the whole SSP/ISS programs (to the NSF team).
Go Atlantis...godspeed.

Heh, and cheers Speez.
Not over yet, not until they are in their retirement homes*, and we're going to be actually ramping up with all the new vehicles after shuttle (as much as I don't do a song and dance about it as I love shuttle too much), but I want to write about FRR presentations for a manned mission to Mars, *even if it means we'll all be in retirement homes ourselves by the time they get around to that at this rate

I'm off topic, will tell myself off and get back on topic

And that was a really great "alternative" PowerPoint presentation by the whiteroom crew!
Go Atlantis!
