  Anyone have any idea what that was all about?

  
  Recently a part of Kurs system inside Zarya module was replaced. And then there were problems with testing of new component. Problems were resolved. But it was the first docking to Rassvet module after replacing a part of Kurs system inside Zarya module. And a flight director of ISS Russian segment Vladimir Solovyov tells Oleg Kononenko that in case of problems with new part there can be manual docking which he should be prepare to. He said: "I know, Oleg, that there should be nerves of steel to dock that way" But all was okay, and docking was in automatic mode.
