If she's in touch with the spacecraft, that makes her the CAPCOM. I can't find an astronaut by the name of Megan McCarthy, but there's a Megan McArthur http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/mcarthur-km.html
Space Shuttle Atlantis to Launch 16 Nov 2009

- Start date
That's who I meant! Megan McArthur! Did I say McCarthy? I must have misheard her name. Oops. You won't tell her, will you? 
If I was on the shuttle, it'd be her voice that I'd want to hear!
"PERSONAL DATA: Born in 1971 in Honolulu, Hawaii." About the right age...
"Megan enjoys SCUBA diving, backpacking, and cooking." So do I..!! (the backpacking & cooking anyway, but I'm willing to learn SCUBA diving).
"Married." It doesn't say 'happily', does it?!
Thanks for finding the info, fat_jez.
Oh yeah, I suppose I should mention that there's some great footage of the two astronauts space walking.
(Careful with that Stanley-knife Eugene!)

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!), finances dictate I must remain an admirer from afar.
In case of confusion, the Stanley-knife reference in my previous post was an attempt at humour in regards to the space-walkers. After all, you wouldn't want an errant knife blade piercing your space suit, would you?! The only stalking going on right now, is my covert observation of the space shuttle/international space station...
