  Koichi said "Gordon Fullerton" looked beautiful when it was around 900m out.
  
  It should look even better close up (remembering ORB-D).

  It was used during ORB-D, obviously, but I don't remember them giving us the screen (other than seeing it on the big screen on the wide MCC-H ISS FCR view).
