Whoa! Major lightning sprites on Earth in the center of the departure camera!

LEO is the ocean, not an island (let alone a continent). We create cruise liners to ride the oceans, not artificial islands in the middle of them. We need a physical place, which has physical resources, to make our future out there.

Dragon is now out of the Approach Ellipsoid. @SpaceX has full authority over the flight from here on out.

NTV signing off - another top job by Josh there.

Going to rush out and do some day job stuff for a few hours, so keep an eye on this via the social media fun and games.

So the next event will be GNC bay door closure? Then de-orbit burn?

The recovering vessel seems to be going around a tight 3nm circle...

Random guess: probably engine idling and moving to avoid drift from currents?

3NM or 3nmi, please (otherwise, that would be a *very* small circle. ;) )
