We Are Not Alone
June 8, 2011
Summary
Started the day working with the Fluids Integrated Rack to change biological sample – worms – and check out the new microscope used to examine the samples.
Worked on the spacesuits that will be used by Mike Fossum and myself for spacewalks next month during the STS-135 mission. Meet Huey and Louie, Louie.
Spoke with students from South West College, Enniskillen, Northern Ireland via Amateur Radio.
Most of the day was spent on a network upgrade for the more than thirty laptops on the Space Station.

Thanks for introducing us to your buddies Huey and Lewy, the spacesuits. You may have spent too much time alone in space, Ron. I'm glad @Astro_Aggie and @Astro_Satoshi (and Sergei) are coming to the rescue on Thursday when their Soyuz docks. ;

I hear you guys are going to be extremely busy until after Atlantis' flight to ISS, but I do hope you will be able to squeeze in some photography sessions. I miss your spectacular images, sorry, have become addicted to them!

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Yes things have been very busy but it's not that I don't have time to take the pictures. I have tons of pictures already taken that I haven't sent out yet. It's that I have not found time to do all tha'ts required to send them out (Like figure out where the px was taken, time, date, significance etc.). I'll keep trying I have some incredible pics sitting in the cue

Taking pics is easy. But the fans also want to know what they see. Looking forward to the postings. For all who don't know it. The image files are saved in JSC Houston computers that are accessible free of charge via Internet. Various query engines are available. The most recent pics taken (even if not posted on twitpic) can be seen here:
