It's not the fisrt time they've used it, I'm sure. I take it no one keeps a database of what songs have been used over the years?
And speaking for my countrymen, "Takin' Care of Business" is one of the few Canadian songs that EVERYONE knows. Steve would be proud.

FD5 execute package:
http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/157521main_fd05_ex_pkg.pdfCongratulations on yesterday's flawless P3/P4 installation and a perfectly executed EVA!
We hope you all had a refreshing night and wish you the very best for today's EVA 2!
The MMT crew summary, though not containing any information we haven't seen, confirms the latest on the lost bolt:
SARJ Launch Lock Cover 21 Captive Bolt - The bolt/spring that was lost
overboard in the zenith direction past covers 20, 19, and 18 was thought to be traveling
toward the plus V-bar. Preliminary relative motion analysis predicts a slow opening rate
to ~10 miles in front of the stack by FD6. More details will be provided as they become
available.

Edit: I would delete this duplicate image, but the forum doesn't want to let me and instead tells me I must attach an image when I click delete!

I see now that the helmet cams have numbers in the lower right corner like other NASA cams around the pad for example. Would be nice with stripes on the gloves too anyway
Cam 16 is Dan Burbank

Just for background information, there are 16 launch locks and 10 launch restraints. I can't recall exactly how many Piper and Tanner removed yesterday, but I guess it was 3-4... so, there must be about 10 locks left... correct me if I'm wrong
After they remove all the locks and restraints, the astronauts must deploy the SARJ brace beams, to rigidize the structure.
