UPDATE ON AIR CONDITIONING FLOW. First picture shows the problem. Heavy winter blazer helps. Frank Culbertson, former ISS commander, and co-victim of the cold air assault, asked himself: "what would the ISS crew do if faced with that problem?" The second picture shows the solution.
Very high tech! Sucks to be the guy on the other side of the vent though, he is now getting 3x the previous airflow out of his section...

Just saw a live shot of the rocket on the pad at NASA TV (now gone for an ISS event) - weather looks much better than I thought. Of course 4.5 hours is a long time...

Jeesh, small world. I was at Los Angele AFS with Mike. About the same time that you gave the Pegasus concept briefing to SMC (Space Division at the time).

Merged a few posts from the other (now closed, cause we're into launch day) thread. This is already a brilliant thread, ahead of moving into the business end of the live updates. Loving the pics!
