THE PRESIDENT: ...Can I ask, how exactly do you end up installing these solar panels? What's involved? Somebody want to give us a rundown on how you go about doing it?
MISSION SPECIALIST SWANSON: Yes, sir. First it comes up on a truss segment, about five feet long. We use a robotic arm to attach it to the -- into another truss segment.
I can't help but think that Swanson sounded somewhat defeated as he finished that last sentence. You expect space to be grand and amazing, but in reality you just end up spending an inordinate amount of time dealing with trusses.
