So true... I've been sitting here all morning thinking the same thing.
I grew up in a time when just getting a single person in a small capsule into orbit was considered a miracle.
The ability of the entire team (astonauts and everyone involved on the ground) to make such complex tasks look easy is truly amazing and makes me happy and priviliged to just be here to witness it.
To all of you involved in the program - thanks!

About 15 mins left till sunrise.
How long will it take to get the CMGs back in order?
Edit: View from another camera showing the S3/S4 Very close.

Nope - not expected. I suppose SIM SUP has run this malfunction scenario in training - more than once...

Any words on what happened to cause the attitude control failure? Correct me if I'm wrong but this could have been a *big* deal if the recovery is not smooth.
Edit do we have a time limit on the s3/4 mating?

Limit is 39 hours due to thermal reasons.

CMG saturation, someone dropped the ball.

Was the problem that the CMG's were unable to correct the attitude enough and needed to use thrusters?
That's the understanding I got from the announcer a moment ago....

Will take ~30 minutes before ISS can take control. must hold S3/S4 at pre-install position.

Will this impact EVA ops? Looks like they are still on station lifesupport from that picture.

I'm confused about the view inside the air lock, shouldn't the space walkers be doing some form of pre breathing? O2 IIRC. Perhaps the masks are too small to see clearly?

Thank God the fail-safes failed safe. The last thing they needed was station or shuttle thrusters firing while they have 35000lbs on a fragile arm with the brakes unlocked.

Station back in control.
Moving back into attitude to resume ops.
Hopefully with good KU.

I understand the addition of this truss assembly will really help "balance" out the station?
