And we have a docking....Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations to SpaceX, NASA, and the crews of the Dragon capsule Endeavour and the ISS.  In a horrible week, you gave us a reminder that thousands of people of all races, sexes, and nationalities can do something stupendous.

NASA this morning: "NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley aboard the SpaceX Dragon Endeavour have arrived at the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon arrived at the station’s Harmony port, docking at 10:16 a.m. EDT while the spacecraft were flying about 262 miles above the northern border of China and Mongolia."



Bob and Doug, in SpaceX's minimalist-looking but obviously effective suits, carried instrumentation, some small payloads, and a stuffed dragon named Ty to dock with the ISS.  



Trivia:  It was the first time a capsule on its first crewed launch carried no rookies. It is the first two-person mission where both astronauts are married to other astronauts.  They launched from Pad 39A, where fifty years ago I was an eyewitness to Apollo 11's rise.

Wishing many more good missions to come.
