For an unplanned/unrehearsed EVA, this is VERY impressive to me...Beamer is extremely good at calling status and directions! Incredible team effort. Now I'll shut up and enjoy the show live on NASA TV here at home, hehe.

This whole mission is hugely impressive. What strikes me is the re-wiring element was extreemly complex, yet was carried out so smoothly, the media concentration is on this P6 array retract. Speaks volumes.

7 mins to KU. Heading into orbital sunrise.

Currently "scanning" the grommets on the P6 for evalutions.

Is that simulation we keep seeing controlled by Houston or by Joanie?

The simulation that we see is being controlled by the robotics (ROBO) officer in Mission Control, Joanie will have a similar display on her DOUG robotics display in the Destiny lab at her robotics workstation.

Still looking through Beamer's helmet cam, but it would be neat for these retracts for them to show us the big picture view.

Sticky grommet again, we're going to go for a shake.

One bay retraction. Appeared ok. One grommet on the outboard guide wire sticking.

Time for a Beamer Shake!
