Re: SpaceX
Wise words, indeed - authored by your good self or other? Be sure I will re-check before I launch at 1922(Z) and make sure I have an alternate (if required).

Re: SpaceX
I appreciate that the crew escape system can deposit the capsule in 'the sea', (and there are ships in both the Atlantic and Pacific equipped with helicopters) - the recovery time from splashdown has to be potentially 'long'.

Re: SpaceX
Multiple orbital adjustment burns complete (including one while the crew were supposedly 'resting'...!!) and docking later today.
First Dinosaur in space as far as I know. Dragon now visible (at 45km) from the ISS (Dragon, not Dinosaur).
Hopefully to BEAT TGG!! (What!) with an appropriate track https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... mUwFVh09AS

Re: SpaceX
Dragon thruster burn due in 10 minutes to take it very close to the ISS. Am watching NASA TV - should be some good views of the approach. Docking due at 1429 GMT.
