Somebody needs to sneak a fart machine on one of those missions for when the VIP speeches get out of hand. Talk about viral video potential - all would be forgiven for the PR value.

The original plan called for them to be there for only four or five days, but the current plan is for the two of them to stay and work for a couple of months - maybe even four months. But the test mission won't be complete until they undock, de-orbit and splashdown safely. And then, we are one step closer to going to space for the fugk of it. Don't get more American than that. Moon baby! The dark side of the moon is where all them Gray aliens live. 😎

Paraphrasing Gus, nobody really knew for sure. IIRC a BIG question was the effect of sun/shafe space temperatures which of course changes with ship aspect. Would metal expansion/contraction remain within design tolerance for a good capture and seal.

Job well done.
I hope to live long enough to see us colonize the moon. There are a number of compelling reasons to do so. My favorite? If we don’t the raccoons will. Helium 3 Schit loads of it Energy. Then we can use it for further space exploration. Well.....YES! I didn’t want to get too technical with this crowd. 
I am..........disturbed.
