Stacking of final shuttle rocket boosters underway
The last-ever set of space shuttle solid-fuel rockets began taking shape Tuesday evening as technicians started stacking the boosters that will power Atlantis this summer.
Launch of this final space shuttle mission is targeted for June 28 at 3:40 p.m. EDT to deliver a massive amount of supplies to the International Space Station using the Italian-made Raffaello cargo vessel.

It took several tries and 4 or 5 minutes for Nespoli to establish contact. I left the attempts on the recording but edited out the space between. The questions start at about 1:34 in the recording. Got a little of the response to question 5 before losing signal.
