• So what are all these numbers they keep calling out? The NASA guy said something about "performance data", but what are they?

• "we're changing now, and then we will open the hatch"

• Ok, NOW they are going to open the hatch! Lovely segment on the BBC showing kids seeing an ISS pass for the first time, waving. I always wave too (pointless, but one has to, right!)

• Great shot of the Soyuz docked to ISS now.
