The crew must have been hungry, they ate all the food on board...
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

somehow I missed the crew ingressing...  Hopper reported the bangs have returned, now from PMA-3

Since Dragon docked, the crew, particularly Hopper who is sleeping in Dragon, has reported periodic bangs coming from the PMA.  NASA has studied the reports which happened when shuttle was docked as well, and determined it is the PMA flexing.  They watched the PMA with external cameras and correlated deflections visible to reports of bangs by the crew.  It is not considered any problem but it is interesting since PMA 2 was not stressed by the massively heavier shuttles like PMA-3 was, at least to me...

The Crew-1 team added their mission insignia to the wall of the space station's Harmony module, just outside of where SpaceX's Crew Dragon Resilience was docked before being relocated earlier this week:

Stunning. I don’t know how else to describe the nighttime views from the eyes of spaceship Resilience, located at her new home on “top” of @Space_Station.

I didn’t think the views could get any better, then my crewmate @Astro_Soichi took this night timelapse from Resilience and I was blown away.

Had a visitor yesterday checking out @SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience. Making sure the capsule is in good shape for our return to Earth in a few weeks.
