The 10 astronauts aboard the orbiting complex formed by space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station have awakened and are, once again, hard at work.

The STS-123 crew will perform a final inspection of Endeavour's heat shield using the shuttle's robot arm and the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS). Commander Dominic Gorie, Pilot Gregory H. Johnson, and Mission Specialist Takao Doi will survey the orbiter's wings and nose cap to ensure that no damage has occurred to the tiles that protect Endeavour from the heat of reentry.

Why is the shuttle dock shaped off center?

What is the function/purpose of the black and white bulls eyes stuck all over the outside of some modules?

The crews of space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station got some off-duty time at the beginning of their 10th day in orbit. They also spoke to Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda and participated in interviews with U.S. media.

The astronauts spent the remainder of their day configuring tools for the fourth STS-123 spacewalk and reviewing spacewalk procedures.

They also prepared for the primary task of that spacewalk, which is the test of a heat shield repair method. This technique uses a caulk-gun-like tool named the Tile Repair Ablator Dispenser to dispense a material called Shuttle Tile Ablator-54 into purposely damaged heat shield tiles. Once the test is complete, the sample tiles will be returned to Earth to undergo extensive testing on the ground.

I suppose this is not something you can find a technical quote for. In fact I kind of hope it isn't.

What does it actually sound like inside, let's say, Destiny?

No decibel levels allowed! Does it sound like a large office? Inside a car on the interstate? Waiting at the tracks while a train goes by (windows open/windows closed)? Starship Voyager? In front of an air conditioner? In bed with earplugs in? By a white noise sleep machine? ???

Somebody ask Peggy!
