Live in orbit: Four of five stitches in place














Spacewalking astronaut Scott Parazynski is putting in place the fifth and last of the stitches required to mend the International Space Station's damaged solar wing.

Mission Control would like the astronauts to be outside the outpost when an attempt is made to fully unfurl the wing.

"Good work Scott," shuttle skipper Pam Melroy said. "We're all up here on the flight deck cheering whenever we see you put those (wire strands) through the holes."
