Watching the deployment live right now. Is it just me, or do the cosmonauts look as though they're beating the CRAP out of ARISSat while trying to jettison it?

I heard the ground controllers warn them about not damaging the solar panels. Yes, it looked like handling was pretty rough. Instead of the choreographed/practiced movements of other EVA's I've watched, this one seemed like they were trying to figure out what to do as they went along!

Maybe they need to put another widget on the AMSAT website to take collections for repairs.
