tourmalineMy final opportunity to see the ISS/Shuttle was tonight - thankfully it was clear enough for me to do so, even if it was low down and had to be viewed from an upstairs window. No more viewings while Discovery is docked, unfortunately :(
The second EVA is complete, Mike Fossum and Ron Garan came back in through the Quest airlock a little while ago, floating through like two cubist teddy bears. They're being slowly de-suited, having their gloves photographed and whatnot.
KibÅ is looking rather less empty than it was a day and a bit ago - lots of equipment in place along the walls now. I know it's a very important unit of the International Space Station, but it's still a room like any other. A room that makes you coo and wow when you first go into it when it's completely empty, but then fills up quickly. I guess the upside is that it has to be kept clean to work properly, it's not going to get the accumulation of 'stuff' like most rooms have to put up with.
