CAPCOM: Good morning Atlantis! And a special good morning to you today Leland.

Mission Specialist Leland Melvin: Good morning Shannon. That was a great way to wake up today on a day when we're going to install Columbus. I want to thank my family, especially my sister for believing in me so much. She let's me know that I can "fly like an eagle", which we're doing overhead right now. It's going to be a beautiful day. [Pause] Thanks to Willie for playing that music for me and helping and supporting me through all this.

CAPCOM: Thank you Leland. We're really glad to see you flying.
