SOOOO far behind! Was watching that too and they didn't have a clue until someone pointed out the Twitter posts!

Big congrats on the crew there.. I was very nervous, especially the shot of the Soyuz close to the docking target but way off line..

Those Cygnus panels did get a nice shaking with the (I suppose) thruster impingement. It was really visible in the external views just before the abort excitement took over.

Nervous here too. Nothing like a bit of excitement to add to the moment! (makes it more memorable)
But we can all now breathe a sigh of relief...

David Willets being interviewed on the BBC & putting up a sterling defence of the mission in the face of some inane questioning.

I was unaware Luch was even active for ISS, what did I miss?

Phew! I was just about ready to declare that Tim had arrived, then I saw the Soyuz start backing away! But then I saw the Soyuz start heading back toward the ISS at what looked like quite a rate of closure, and also off-center. My heart was in my mouth that there had been some kind of thruster malfunction.
But luckily Yuri got it under control, negating the need for Tim Peake to save the day in typical British fashion.
Nobody really expected the Brits to arrive at the ISS without a bit of drama, did they?

If they don't stop asking people being interviewed on the BBC about justifying the cost of this mission...

What was that alarm earlier onboard Soyuz was it telling Yuri him the approach was offline?

This is second manual docking of a spaceship made by Malenchenko ! First time was in 1994, with Progress M-24 on Mir.

it was just a loss off video signal.
