STS-122/1E Highlights

We have had a great mission thus far and it is nearing it's end. The RPE's had an enormous load of re-planning on nearly every planning shift of the mission. Major contributors: An EV astronaut got sick, the Europeans had another day added to the mission, and our ISS commander knocked out her work way faster than she should.

One thing that I have learned from this mission is that Joint mission planning and Staged operations planning are two different bottles of wax. I have observed the pain of the RPE during these missions and needless to day I'm a little scared.

Enjoy some video highlights of the mission.
