So what is going on? Are they testing different movements in anticipation of further construction on the ISS?

Re: So what is going on?

It's about fixing future damaged tiles.

With movement of 1 or 2 feet at the tip of the arm, a human is 6 feet tall, and can only bend at the knee, it's easy for the movement of the arm to impact a human against the bottom of the orbiter.

Thanks. I think I understand. It's more knowledge about how we can work in space in close quarters.

These are some shots from a video camera inside the Discovery solid rocket booster as they fell away during lift off on the 4th of July.

Thanks for posting the photos, Chad.

Re: WOW, WOW, WOW.

I know!

The Solid Rocket Boosters fell away, splashed down into the sea, recovered, and the video removed back in the hanger.

This is just a preview. Each of the 2 SRBs had 3 cameras on them that ran during the entire launch.
