Funny nickname 'Stevie Ray' for Steve Robbinson.

Steve Robinson is a base guitarist for Max Q, the all-astronaut band. His nickname is a reference to Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Houston not ready to latch, but was ready to stop on the guide wire...Beamer asks if he should tuck the loop into the blanket box...Houston checking...

Going to try to clear the wire and grommet away from being sandwiched between the blankets...Houston asking to pull on the pulley end of the wire now.

Wow, wrong place for a bolt hole. Did the EVA's dodge the bullet there, or was it there before?

Beamer's got that all cleared out now...IV crew says "good job."

Houston wants the guide wire in tension...

Shape and color is consistent with a shadow. Not a MMOD damage.

Sunrise in 30 minutes, possible KU coverage from TDRS-West in 40 minutes, problem guide wire is now in tension!

Sounds like Beamer has actually cleared the loops.

Pressing ahead with the checklist...

A shadow??? Not in a million years. That has MMOD written all over it.

Agreed. That thing has three dimensions. Not a shadow.

Flightstar · « **Reply #437 on:** 12/18/2006 11:46 pm »

That is MMOD for sure.

Jeff Bingham · « **Reply #438 on:** 12/18/2006 11:46 pm »

It actually looked to me to be perfectly aligned with the rivets and has a rectangular impression around it; definitely a hole, but seemed too "regular" to be MMOD, as I watched it on NASA TV....will replay the DVD and take another look....Meanwhile congrats to Beamer on a nice surgical touch getting the guide-wire cleared!!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #439 on:** 12/18/2006 11:47 pm »

Unless a pointy end of a tool hit it? What's it made of? Do we have any shots from earier in this area?
