No idea if this was known but the crews were awoken by an alarm during their sleep cycle. They were sent back to sleep soon after they managed to silence the alarm, but we're investigating with L2 info and will write it up.

More like GC Johnny Brothers (an old friend of mine from my pre-INCO OST days) leans just enough to the right and dodges an arrow thrown by Flight to get the attention of the daydreaming, or late in overnights shift drowsy GC....

Beta Angle is really dropping! Longer nights.

"Club ISS" cranking out the hits to get you moving this Tuesday!!!
At least Suni's dedication wasn't another "dead dog dedication" as Casey Kasam 'loved' so much so long ago

Some songs just do not sound good at all! Over the coom.
I've never heard the song before? Who here wants to guess at it?
