Wayne Hale coming up...Avron, I think there was a nice graph on L2 showing relative distances of the orbiter and the Soyuz in a presentation yesterday...
Yes, MMT presentation for Flight Day 10.

Wayne Hale is brilliant, isn't he. That is a very clear and honest overview of where we are.

He's a true hero
Never losing his temper with the journalists.
And also explaining everything so that even school children can understand.

indeed, he's the best manager the program could get... he stepped in after Columbia, right? what was his position within the Program before that?

Well, prior to Columbia he was Flight Director, with the last being Ascent/Entry FD for STS-113. For 114 he was the deputy SSP manager with Bill Parsons as the SSP manager.

Interesting that nobody asked about any affect on the impact of these extra inspections on cryo consumables (because of the extra power needed) and if that might have any impact on mission length.
(Likely won't, but worth asking nevertheless.)

must've been the extra leg that confused us then...
Linking smoothly onwards, there's certainly been plenty of entertainment on this trip - NASA has finally realised it's in show business... and my betting is that this debris is more of the same, "nothing much" that has been cautiously treated as serious and done more to retain the interest of the fickle public.

well, i think when they talked about saturday they considered the limiting factor, which should be the fuell cells...

You know, I forgot that Steve Stich said (and it was in the L2 presentation yesterday) that the limiter was LiOH (canisters).

I heard on the news that if Atlantis has to go back to ISS there is some complication with Expedition 14 docking. Is this so or is the news blowing it out to get more viewers?

i don't think so... Atlantis would dock after the Soyuz...

The latter.
The matter would have been raised here early on if that were the case.

Exactly. The only complication would be a crowded ISS. Twelve people would be on board at once.

Now that would be a record, 12 people in orbit in one craft. Fortunately it's almost certainly not going to happen: given the WHale's remarks about on-board temperature sensors, there is no major damage.

What was this 'violent' judder that goes through the shuttle when doing the FCS check out? I didn't quite catch that part.

A lot of the RCS thrusters get a good workout during the FCS checkout and those can cause the orbiter to do some good shaking.
