The station is a bit tilted towards Earth, isn't it?

The best call I heard go by as Burbank and MacLean were working on removing the stuck bolt from the launch restraint:
"If you break it, mission accomplished."
It made me laugh pretty hard, as it was NOT something I was expecting to hear as they were struggling with a mind-bogglingly expensive piece of equipment.

They're already working on get ahead tasks. First one: clear the railway of launch restraints!

Why this post? It happens every 90 minutes (3-5 times during the spacewalk)

Anyone got information on the just reference DLA Issues? Context was "No Exercise for the next 30 minutes because of DLA issues"

Drive Lock Assembly is the only EVA/ISS reference that includes that reference on first search. Make sense?

I was thinking perhaps the tasks the spacewalkers are doing right now have something to do with the call. The commentator just said they were working with something called D...L..., but I can't recall what it was (have to sleep more, I know
) Any ideas?

They don't want the crew in the ISS to do any exercise since it causes the whole station to vibrate and shake, which might interfere with xxx operation

Next tasks: removing some PFR from the railway and some thermal shrouds. These guys are inexhaustible!
(Temporary edit: I'm taking a break; so if someone would post some illustrating images for the thread...

I heard this too. But as I recall I think he was talking about something inside ISS. Something that was there (and shouldn't be there) and he didn't know what it was.
Directly after that I posted a comment in the topic saying 'do these Russians know what they are doing?'...

Somebody sent me a question regarding something he heard on NASA TV yesterday, that needs at least an explanation:
"Commander Pavel Vinogradov report[ed] Unknown Object to Mission Control yesterday around 12:35 pm Central Time as the ISS/Shuttle Atlantis was passing over Africa...
He said in Russian and it was translated over the Air on NASA T.V. , " We have an unknown object. We don't know what it is ... If no one knows what it is ... then no one cares. Do you have any questions ? "
Mission Control answered , " No questions."
