1st 6 hooks are closed in the hard capture sequence, second set occurring now.

Hard capture complete, and with that, the docking sequence is complete! Dragon is now one with the ISS

Hard capture comes at 11:12 Easter 8:12 pacific time.

CORE: docking sequence complete, welcome to the ISS resilience

Siuguchi with some words in Japanese, finishing with all for one, crew one for all!

Go for suit doffing

And with that, I am off to bed.

Letting air rush into the vacuum filled vestibule is apparently very loud according to Kate Rubins.
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.
