Brown, Jr., with chopsticks in his mouth, juggles a handheld computer and a food container while trying to get a bite to eat. Commander Robert L. Gibson (right), holding chopsticks in his hand, watches Brown as Payload Specialist Mamoru Mohri, in the background, prepares to consume his meal in the manner he is accustomed to. Mohri represents Japan's National Space Development Agency (NASDA). The three crew members are on the mid deck of Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105. Several months of training, as well as the eight-days of sharing research on the Spacelab Japan (SLJ) mission, allowed the astronauts and payload specialist to learn a great deal about the two cultures.
