CAPCOM: Good morning Discovery, and a special good morning to you this morning Mike!

Mission Specialist Mike Fossum: Whoop! Good morning, Shannon. There’s a spirit can never be told, that’s the spirit of Aggieland. Texas A&M University is indeed a very special place. Thanks to my Aggie wife this morning for that wake-up music, to all my Aggie buds, and to the hundreds of thousands of Aggies on campus and around the world. It’s going to be a great day.

CAPCOM: That's true. It is a great day. And for your information Mike,  I was just informed that you are now twelfth on all-time EVAs.
