I'm sure this is a dumb question, but why does the Soyuz appear as some sort of olive green color during roll-out, but white at launch? Is there some sort of blanket that is removed at the site? Is this just an optical illusion?
Am I just crazy?

The white is frost on the LOX tanks. -

Which is the most correct order for So-Yeon Yi's name?
So-Yeon Yi
or
Yi So-Yeon
?
I've seen it both ways and I seem to recall that Koreans place the family name first but I'm not certain.
She is known to her friends as Soyeon, so this is the equivalent of her christian name in Western terms. Yi is her family name. However custom in Asia is to write the family name first.

Soyeon looks 'at home' already and an inspiration to young people everywhere

Garret Reisman will become an Expedition 17 crew member once the seat lining swap occurs (Reisman to Soyuz TMA-12, So-yeon Yi to Soyuz TMA-11).

Soyuz TMA-12 will dock to Pirs. ATV has been docked to the ISS for exactly one week, today.
Shot from the external forward portion of the Soyuz. Docking is to occur "straight up" at 8:00 AM CDT.

Interesting that NASA TV have just corrected the wrong information they've been putting out over the last couple of days that Soyeon is the youngest woman in space.
That record is and always has, belonged to Valentina Tereshkova.........and will it think be hers for a long time to come. -

Will take three hours (two orbits of the Earth) for Leak Checks, after docking, before hatch opening.
300 meters away.
