New 'terms' :-)

To bring a bit more humour into this group for a moment.

I noticed one on orbit comedian refer to ratty comms as Rodent comms, and
more than once, someone referred to Lisa and Steph as Robochicks. Not sure
quite how that was meant.

Lisa and Stephanie were the operators of both the shuttle and station
robotic arms on this flight. They've been called the robo chicks since way
back in training. They've even designed their own patch.

Lovely! Picture of that patch?

It doesn't exist as a cloth patch (yet). Lisa showed a pencil drawing of it
on NASA TV the other day. I've seen a screencap of it online, but for the
life of me, I can't find it now.

Have you seen Dick Scobee's STS-13 mission patch? It's at the bottom of
this pdf:
http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/oral...TJ_4-10-03.pdf
Terry Hart talks about it on page 18.

I've seen it, but that's a higher quality image of it than I've seen
previously. Thanks!

I actually found the "capcom cue tie" on the following page more amusing...

Oh I knew they were the arm folk, I, being blind, probably never knew about
the patch though.

Found it - it was actually both Lisa and Stephanie showing it off during
the flight:
