S126-E-008894 (21 Nov. 2008) --- This image, recorded in the late evening hours of Nov. 21, Houston time, shows a smiling astronaut Michael Fincke, Expedition 18 commander, as he and his station crew near the mid point of joint efforts with the Endeavour crew, commanded by astronaut Chris Ferguson (out of frame). The two crews are spending close to two weeks in space together, accomplishing home improvement chores and a number of other tasks. Just a few hours after this photo was taken, two astronauts started prepping for the joint crews' third spacewalk of the week.
