• Next burn (whose acronym I forgot) raised Starliner's orbit to 413 x 410 km. Crew reports they have a visual on the station.

  The NHPC1 burn was successful, raising Starliner's orbit to 410 x 325 km (according to the on-screen graphics).
  
  Also - look at what CAPCOM's watching on his laptop!
  

  It would be more surprising to me if someone interested enough in space to make CAPCOM didn't follow exciting current events in that field.

  True - I was also alluding to that being the NSF broadcast.
  
  Good IF1 burn reported.
