CAPCOM Shannon Lucid: Good morning Endeavour. And a special good morning to you

today, Bob.

Mission Specialist Bob Behnken: Well thank you, Shannon. And a special good morning

back to you guys down in Houston for helping us out so much yesterday for a

successful EVA 1. And I'd also just like to say that both on Endeavour and on the

ISS, thankyou for the advance copy of The Ascent of Isaac Steward.

CAPCOM Shannon Lucid: I see you have it there, Bob.

Mission Specialist Bob Behnken: Yes, Shannon - it's a bit of a page turner, can't put it down.

CAPCOM Shannon Lucid: Well try and focus on the job on hand, Bob.

Mission Specialist Bob Behnken: Roger that Houston.

CAPCOM Shannon Lucid: Bob .... Bob ... get on with it.

Mission Specialist Bob Behnken: Er Houston, we have a problem there's a typo on page 11.

An orchid at mom's house, which seemed to go nicely with the Challenger letter/memorial I just posted, also from her house.

almost as much fun as seeing the shuttle was watching all the different kinds of people gathered on the Mall.

we finished the day with a trip to the video game exhibit at the American Art Museum. our friend said we should have eaten at pizza hut, to make it an all-80s nostalgia kind of day.

Robonaut 1 is a remotely operated experimental astronaut assistant developed by NASA and DARPA to handle tools and other small objects. In 2011, NASA sent Robonaut 2 to the International Space Station.

After onboard testing, a later version of Robonaut 2 may go to work outside the space station, operated by an astronaut who remains inside.
