SpaceX MCC gave go for approach from 30m. Waiting on Houston MCC and ISS to give go.

EDIT: For note, arrival at 30m was just 5 minutes prior. Very quick. Was a planed 25 minute hold.

Due to smooth approach, go to proceed to capture point is close (may catch up on some lost time in the RNDZ timeline).

Final approach. Mascots!

Go for final approach, 16 mins until reaching capture point.

EDIT: Just got confirmation of approach started.

Don't be silly. There's no such thing.
