"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T. S. Eliot 1888 - 1965
"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-boggingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space." - The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001

Updated Info on Birth of Astronaut Bresnik's Daughter
Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:29:03 PM GMT
NASA flight surgeons have provided more details on the birth of STS-129 Mission Specialist Randy Bresnik and his wife Rebecca’s daughter.
Abigail Mae Bresnik was born Saturday, Nov. 21 at 11:04 p.m. CST, weighs six pounds, 13 ounces and is approximately 20 inches in length.
Bresnik was connected through a phone patch from Mission Control and the hospital to Atlantis after he woke up Sunday morning. During his wife’s labor Saturday night, he also had been connected to STS-129 Flight Surgeon Dr. Smith Johnston through the International Space Station’s IP Phone until he had to go to bed. A video conference is planned today so Bresnik can see his daughter for the first time. Photos and some video of the baby also will be uplinked to him.
No other information will be available until after Bresnik returns to Earth. Rebecca and Randy Bresnik offered this final word, “We are sending a big thank you to all of the people who have supported NASA and us for this mission and our special occasion.”

Crew Television Celebrates Birth of Abigail Mae Bresnik
Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:04:43 PM GMT
At 5:45 p.m. EST, NASA Television will replay “crew choice” television that was sent down from space late Sunday afternoon, showing Atlantis and International Space Station crew members joining Mission Specialist Randy Bresnik in celebrating the Saturday night birth of Abigail Mae Bresnik.
Space Shuttle Mission: STS-129

Crew Prepares for Monday Spacewalk; Bresnik Announces New Daughter
Atlantis crew members got a well-earned half-day off Sunday, a day that began with some exciting news from Mission Specialist Randy Bresnik to Mission Control Houston.
Bresnik told the flight controllers his new daughter, Abigail Mae Bresnik, had been born at 11:04 p.m. CST Saturday. He said his wife Rebecca and new daughter, 6 pounds, 13 ounces and 20 inches long, were doing well. Bresnik got the news by private phone patch through mission control shortly after the crew was awakened.
› Read the Pre-flight Interview with Randy and Rebecca Bresnik
Preparations for Monday’s spacewalk, the third of three scheduled for Atlantis’ mission to the station, occupied some of the crew’s time. Shuttle crew members, Charles Hobaugh, Pilot Barry Wilmore and Mission Specialists Leland Melvin, Bresnik, Mike Foreman, Robert Satcher Jr. and Nicole Stott, as well as the station’s crew, Commander Frank De Winne and Flight Engineers Jeffrey Williams, Maxim Suraev, Roman Romanenko and Robert Thirsk, joined in an hour-long spacewalk procedures review just before bedtime.
Satcher and Bresnik prepared tools for their spacewalk, with help from Foreman, Monday’s intravehicular officer, who participated in the flight’s first two spacewalks. Satcher and Bresnik will spend the night in the Quest airlock.

Spacewalkers "Camping Out" to Prepare for Final Excursion
Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:07:56 AM GMT
STS-129 Mission Specialists Randy Bresnik and Robert Satcher Jr., set to perform the third and final spacewalk of the mission Monday, are spending the night in the Quest airlock as part of the overnight “campout” procedure that helps purge nitrogen from their bloodstreams, preventing decompression sickness once they move out into the vacuum of space.
The International Space Station crew began its sleep shift at 5:58 p.m. EST, and the shuttle crew headed to bed a half hour later. Both crews are set to wake up Monday at 2:28 a.m. The spacewalk is slated to begin at 7:18 a.m.
