Wait there is an EVA on this mission

It's a stage EVA by the ISS crew, timed to be during the Shuttle mission. A clever way around that four member shuttle crew issue.

Top work Aaron!
Amazed at your speed and accuracy - I'd barely finished watching when your post appeared
Here's a picture of that GPC panel you were interested in.

Cool, thanks
I notice the design of the GPC power switches are different to the ones on the left of it, is there a reason for that ?

I missed what Sandy was so excited about... it was the U.S. women's team that topped Brazil to advance to the Women's World Cup.

Is it not so they can't accidently be thrown?

As well as the usual finger guards to protect against accidental knocks like most switches, they also have covers that have to be deliberately released before changes can be made. These are important switches so have extra protection.

That's the first time I've ever seen the words "so excited" and "women's soccer" in the same breath, that's as wacky as female astronauts....oh, hang on
Also, I did once get involved in a kickabout and this fella's girlfriend "joined in" and she nearly broke my leg in a tackle
Fair play to her. PS Seattle vs Portland (MLS) on ESPN.
Hey, Nick Patrick's on again with the big bright happy future video.

Still two hours to go for the crew, but that's all the main tasks done.

In fact, I know of no normal procedure where the GPCs are powered off in flight AT ALL. Even the powerdowns have the unneeded GPCs in HALT as they use only around 50 watts vs the 550 watts when executing. The guards are over these as there is no normal reason for the GPC to be powered off.
It's super critical that they not be powered off inadvertently also as killing at GPC at the wrong time could result in loss of control of the vehicle (depending on the config at the time).

I want to move there. I bet there's no crime or arguments, cause how could you ever get made with people who speak like that!

"America's leadership ultimately saw the value of one more mission".
Shame they didn't see the value of another six or so.

classic Kwatsi... In today's presser, after comparing cargo transfer ops to an army of ants carrying their cargo, Kwatsi reflected...
"...although I think the astronauts are obviously considerably bigger."
I just love that man (in a manly way, of course)
