Warning on ratty comm - "we are going to pause on building the next template"
(presumably this is the next set of SSRMS instructions?)

Excellent coverage guys (I've been struggling all day with streaming due to a house move and relying on 3G back up internet - nightmare!)

So I've been doing what most people here do, follow the coverage on the thread, and it's been superb!

Really don't think this berthing could have gone smoother.
