Today is an "off-duty" day for the STS-121 crew. As such, mission control offered a few suggestions* to the space travelers as to what they might do with their time:
  1. Who can toss the laptop the furthest down the station before it bounces off the wall (of course, we would appreciate it if you use Station assets for this one).

  2. Arm wrestling: Big arm vs. little arm, David and Goliath II, the battle begins.

  3. Boom toss – toss the boom between arms (just don’t tell the Canadians if you lose it)

  4. Take all the CWCs [contingency waste containers] into the Crew Lock, close the hatch, empty the CWCs and go for a swim (PBAs [portable breathing apparatus] might be needed).

  5. Lawn darts (if you need a target, remember that’s an Aggie compatible task)

  6. Marco polo (the whole fish-out-of water thing would need to be tweaked though)

  7. We could up-link a few appropriate computer games for you if you like – Asteroids, Space Invaders, or Star Wars’ Wing Commander.

* None of these ideas have been approved by the MMT
