Sunday morning: At 8 am Eastern the Dragon spacecraft was about six miles from the Space Station, preparing to begin its slow approach to an automated docking. Contact is expected to happen about 10:30 am Eastern. Live feed at NASA TV.

I've never wanted to be an astronaut until today.

The idea of asking Command and Control "Are were there yet" every half hour would make all that hard work seem worthwhile.

We need ta rule space with a Iron Fist especially earth orbit.
Fugg the Russians .
And especially fugg the Chinese!!

Both of em have stolen enough of our tech to get where they are at.
We need ta shut that schit down and rule...

Popping a cap in that fugging cosmonaut,s noggin on the ISS would be a good start later on this morning during hatch opening.
Bam....

What about the stage 1 booster- - - - -did they stick the landing on that floating recovery platform? That's as amazing as anything else they're doing- - - - -being able to recycle the parts!

Yes, they stuck the landing.

Dragon just docked to the ISS, about two hours now of leak checks and such, then they can open the hatches on both vehicles.

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.

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.


I am..........disturbed.

Helium 3
Schit loads of it

They have now entered the ISS and are suffering through the VIP speeches. I bet they can't wait for the media event to end and to get to work doing real science.
