Some nice reassuring words between the ground and the spacewalkers. Were ahead of schedule, but looks like they will start on time.

Sounds like a tight fit inside the airlock!

"You're in my way, you're not helping me get to the hatch. Look at me. Turn around. My legs are pointing down, so what am I supposed to do. Go, over there. Keep going."

The tiny Chasqui satellite deploy is first up. Hope they wait until sunrise.

And I hope they wait for KU to come back. Oh, it was a short handover, about to come back.
