Not sure how accurate that is, but quite interesting nonetheless.

1. Atlantis is rolling out first, not Endeavour.

2. Endeavour would have to grapple something else, as their is no
grapple point on the end of Atlantis's RMS. I think it is going to
grapple Atlantis's OBSS boom, but don't quote me.

There are some inaccuracies. For example, RCO and AORP are not the same
thing; the latter was to have been a more ambitious system and was never
built.

Correct. They are grappling the EFGF ("shoulder") on the OBSS, since it
provides the shortest translation path to the airlock.
