Josh B is in a chopper.

How does Josh always seem to end up on the bitter cold landings?

61 million miles on the clock for the crew.

4 minutes.

Coming down in cloud and fog.

Standing by.

I think they're down and safe, but in the fog.

Touchdown confirmation!

Due to fog cannot see anything?

That's what SAR seems to be saying.

I heard the crew say 500 (assume .5 km visibility).

Congrats to all teams--don't land a helo on them!

Right, I've got to run as I'm up in about four hours, so keep the coverage going please!

That's why I guess they are not rushing it - better be safe. They still remember one european president that had tried to rush it in fog - it didn't end well back then...

I guess I asked for that...

I don't know how to paste from my TV, but I can certainly provide "verbal" updates.

JoshB not allowed to land due to lack of visibility.
The crew of Expedition 34 is down and safe, and ATVs approaching.
