  Jame Olborn? was on MSNBC.  Very good in his explanation, but the anchor kept trying to sensationalize it.  Typical

  
  I think you mean James Oberg, known as JimO here.

• 4 minutes to sunset, 8 minutes to the ZOE, KU coverage may soon stop as we approach the ZOE.

  Hopefully NASA will make available or sources will provide hi-res images of the repair area
  1.) close out photo
  2.) shot from the RMS camera
  3.) shot with 800MM camera
  4.) Post landing

• Watching on Sky and internet at the same time really shows the internet lag. About a minute.

• 1:38 EVA Duration!
  
  Lost Ku! NO!!!!!!!!!!!

• Say what you will about the shuttle, but I'm going to miss moments like this in the Orion era..
  
  Yeah... no way I'm downgrading the fact that walking on the Moon and all will be pretty awe inspiring.... But this is just amazing work being done here with no more than a flashlight and a stapler.
• #234 by sts1canada on 15 Jun, 2007 19:14
• Loss of KU as expected and as I have warned about, this is normal as we move closer to the ZOE now 4 minutes away, sunset is now!

  You sure did.  After SAW retract.
  
  EDIT :: And no... this is about the spacewalk.  It's appropriate to mention it here.

• JR still having great success! Danny is quiet and having his staple run I think.
