"We are still working towards the engineering data. Tank production at MAF goes on as scheduled, as most of the work is being done at KSC." - Wayne Hale.
"The next tank arrives on April 10, and that date will decide if we continue with repairs on ET-124, or whether we switch to the new tank."
"Our manifest expects to get back on to the manifest as scheduled within 12 months."

Mike Cabbage asks about NET launch dates.
"I'm hesitant to say what the dates will be, but maybe before the end of the May launch window. If we swap tanks, then June."

That was disgraceful with the calling of an idiot when she was asking her question.
Nothing being said on this that we don't mainly know already. Nice work Chris

Wayne still thinks they'll get four flights in this year, even with a June launch of STS-117.

I was getting the feeling that he's not too excited to be participating in the event. I mean, really there's not a lot new to report other than small specific stuff. "We don't know yet" is not a fun answer to have to tell people.

Ouch! That could leave a mark. But there are four space flight centers you forgot SSC.

It is not a spaceflight center nor a manned spaceflight center.

There wasn't any "slapping down" - he just got "short" with some of the questions, especially repeat questions. The guy will have been in a meeting all day, also.
When it comes to slapping down, NASA calls in Mr Hill

Although Wayne claims not to be affected by schedule pressure, it's must be there to some extent. But the reality that the shuttle program hangs on each launch undoubtedly helps to buffer this...I hope.

I think NASA is continuing to show that schedule pressure is not as much a defining factor as it used to be. I'm sure he has pressure on his shoulders, but he's the manager of the shuttle program - a brilliant one at that - so I'm sure he eats pressure for breakfast.
He epitomizes what I grew up thinking as a kid: "Wow, working for NASA, you'd rather have to be really clever, dedicated and focused."
