Yes it played right after Kylie (Nicole?) announced it. Pretty spectacular.
Crap, missed it then!

Looked just like STS-121. No difference.
Why are there French people in Canada asking questions??

They're speaking with a french-language institution in Quebec. We've got two official languages here, and a very large percentage of the population has french as their first language. No surprise at all that we're doing a French language interview.
As a francophone, I will say that Maclean's french accent is... Alright.
. Still, it's the first time I've heard a french-language interview from a shuttle flight deck - cool!

PS - Our Prime Minister is also online. His accent training has been pretty effective since the election, I must say.

Confirm on the video similarity to STS-121. Just different lighting. The main languages in Canada are English and French so it's not uncommon to hear Canadians speaking French to one another. Whoa Prime Minister's callin'!!

That's unbelievable. The SRMS can't move it's own weight on Earth but in Zero G it can move 18 tons. The station arm can move the shuttle itself in orbit.

I thought it was just a quarter of Quebec? Seems 50/50 on this conference.

Not too sure honestly. But I do recall that many Canadians speak French.

It is, probably for political reasons. However, almost everyone in Quebec speaks French as their primary language, and Quebec represents about a quarter of the overall population, which is probably what you're thinking about.

Funny thing is, the questions from the kids and teachers are usually better and more insightful than the talking head interviews from the TV folks (this from a radio news guy myself)...NPR next, could be a little better, or could not
