With noting to give you perspective, looks like they're doing about 2mph :pac:
Far from the truth.....

They look like they are barley moving but I think both are orbiting the earth once every 90 minutes which is some clip.

The live feed is just out of this world now :eek:

And that's it. Confirmed soft capture.

Confirmed hard capture the twelve hooks have fired.

In the Space Suit!

Pretty amazing what Space X have achieved over the last decade, delivering a cheaper, re-usable, Cargo and Passenger transport for the ISS as well as satellite launches. Competing successfully against Boeing and Lockheed who are US staples of Space flight. This launch has so far been flawless.

Towards the back, 2nd door on the left I think

About half hour until they open the hatch.

Hatch is open. And the crew are on ISS

Looks incredibly cramped

That's just the docking area

Dragon ? I’d have to double check but I don’ there’s much difference between it and the Apollo CM.

Maybe it's the camera and a wide angle lens but it felt like they could press the screen with their noses if they chose to.

Well nearly. This is taken longer than normal but it’s fair to remember this is a new spacecraft and this hatch hasn’t been used in a while and they want to get it right.

Take a look at the Soyuz modules. No cat swinging in there!

Anybody! I "Really" need to know where the toilet is.

It's up at the top of the capsule ( as it sits on the rocket) behind a screen. Caravan style!

Risking being very wrong here as I don't know much about this stuff at all but in a museum I was in in the states (possibly the aircraft carrier in new york) there was a model of the soyuz and its tiny. I might well be pulled up on this as badly mistaken.

The decent module is tiny alright around 3 cubic metres of volume. But the Soyuz actually had a second habitable space called the orbital module which has roughly 5 cubic metres of living space. Not huge by any means. By comparison the Dragon has around 9 cubic metres of space.

Do you know I was actually thinking it was just the descent bit alright, bloody tiny for 3 people if I remember right but as I said dont know much about this stuff anyway.

Ya. It's on the intrepid in New York in beside the space shuttle. Pretty cool.
