Now the fun part of the mission begins.

Looking forward to the approach video as it rendezvous with the ISS.

Wonderful..and a new age begins!

ISS astronauts watching the launch of the Dragon. They are so happy.

If you want to see the first closeups of the Dragon spacecraft taken from ISS (at 2.4 km, extreme telephoto) yesterday:

Much better images will be taken tonight/early tomorrow when Dragon will be captured and berthed to ISS.

I couldn't get up early enough to catch it live, but nice catch.

Watching now, look like they are just starting the berthing procedure.

YellowSubmarine · May 25 2012, 05:06 PM

The Dragon is now berthed!

Hurray!

It's a great week for SpaceX.

Someone on NASA TV just referred to ".org" as "dot orgy". Do people do that often?

I've never heard it pronounced before.

Must have been one of them old timers with their slide rules.

It made a gorgeous pass over the Bay Area a couple of nights ago. I can't get the live feeds, but nice to have something new to look up at.

That's fucking amazing.
