When I heard about the Dvd's that were sent up and added to the ISS movie library it brought a tear to my eye. It's just the coolest thing to hear something like that.
Oh and about the that problem with the pod, that is very troubling and I hope they can get it fixed.

I think we have a pretty good repair method planned. plus if they just go out and push the blanket down and it should stay down due to blanket memory. the aeroloads dont start ramping up until Mach 6 and the heat loads are over by Mach 4. so the team is looking at what would the heat load be in the cavity for the ~2 from M6-4 if the blanket repair failed and it popped up due to aero loads.
we are going to do a repair and will make sure the crew is safe.

On another Firefly/Serenity forum there was the inevitable quote about the gorram buffer panel.
Things never go smooth do they?

Maiii,
Just to inject some humor,....re: buffer panel Does this plan sound like something Mal would think up?
I sure hope you have better luck, than he does. I hope everybody gets back with out any incedents or close calls. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for spending your time here posting, I know when a ship is up there you people are very busy. This is just too cool and I remember when we landed on the Moon!

Could this have been "The Hand-Off"?

I wonder that myself, but CJ is doing the handoff and there are three packages, though Swanny might have had to wrap the dvd cases in something else. unfortunately I havent hear from Swanny yet. probably too excited about today's spacewalk.
the mission continues to go well as the team works through the blanket repair options for procedures/tools and which EVA to perform the work on should be decided by the mission management team today. Swanny and Forrester are going for a spacewalk later today to continue work on the newly installed Truss and Solar Array Segment. Airlock egress is ~2 pm EDT.

Excited about today's space walk/EVA... reminds me of River on the outside of Serenity the first time.. looking at all the stars..
I mean, imagine what it must be like to be one of the very few humans to ever go into space (so far)... it's just so amazing!! I think I am jealous..lol..

Thanks for the bulletins!
About the repairs: they were talking about
using a sewing kit that's taken along to fix
spacesuits, but by tonight (Wed.) there were
references to staples. ??
Isn't there a space version of duct tape?
bun
Frisky Browncoat
