I'm saying nothing about penalty shootouts when responding to a German

During an idle moment I had a go at cleaning up Philip's 'scanned' document to see if I could make it a bit easier to read (click to enlarge).

Something positive for the Americans, back in the actual FIFA World Cup, very last seconds, having to score to go through, Landon Donovan. USA came of age in that game....That young American team has a great chance to do something special in Russia in 2014.

Mr. Edelen was incredibly generous with his time after the briefing today (which wasn't necessarily short)...he even went through the wish list of tasks for the extra docked day and checked off the ones they got done that he could remember off the top of his head. I "scanned" that in from the briefing desk...
At one point, he even had the lead transfer officer, Jeremy Owen, on speakerphone to answer some additional questions.
That's very cool, I'll bet that complete list is now exclusive to this site (for public consumption, at least). Looking at the photo (1872) of those remaining shows a few dedicated folks who are there for nearly every briefing of a mission. People follow every aspect of each mission on NSF and we're well represented by you at JSC and ChrisG at KSC.
It would be nice if, during the larger briefings, the people/organizations who have been there for each mission would get priority for 'mic time'. I was a little irked when ChrisG had a question to ask during the post-launch briefing, where time for questions was a bit limited, but folks I've never heard of were given the opportunities for questions and Chris was passed over. That's probably asking too much, but it'd be nice.

Getting ahead of myself here, but if I were to request a wake-up song for the final morning of the final shuttle flight, it would be "America the Beautiful"

Japan has won
England beat Japan 2-0 to get into the quarter finals about 2 weeks ago. It went downhill after that.

We lose pixels when the pictures come down. We have software that fixes that. It takes an average of the surrounding pixles and fills it in.
Working since Oct. 1986. 70th shuttle mission. Long fun ride.
Gets to watch the video as it comes down, gives them the idea to fix it (adjusting colour, ect).
Pictures docked to the space station are some of his favourite. We can see all of it in one place, not just the shuttle.
There are several 4 views from station, (HD, feeds from Russian partners) and SSV from shuttle, shuttle downlink & shuttle HD). Pretty much everything is archived (over a certain video level, even if it's dark) for the National Archives & one copy at JSC.
Never boring. Ended here after TV freelance industry, saw a newspaper add for a new TV contract at JSC and decided to apply. Picked up on that contract and doing that for the most part since then. Always been a fan of the space program. Inbred in me since I was born (Frank Borman elementary in TX...laughs). I can't imagine anything beating it. very special to work here.
What will you miss: Shots from shuttle when docked. Shuttle is (lost for words)..whole different level of preparedness.

Interesting, HD video from orbit 'looses pixels' so they have software to try fill them.
Makes sense, I often see white sparkles over their videos.
