Flight Day 6

Another spectacular day aboard the station, the crew opened the hatch to Tranquility and climbed aboard. Of course, it was dark inside and I was quite thankful that I had run to the local sports store and bought a head lamp to stash in Terry's gear. On the video, you could see him and Kay entering the node with goggles, masks and head lamps as they first pumped air into the node and then set to work getting the cupola ready for the next spacewalk. Most of the Endeavour and station crew spent the entire day outfitting the new node, or running critical systems to it. Once again, Terry could be spotted in his Air Force baseball cap as he worked. I loved his comment to mission control that it "smelled like a new car."
