Docking is nothing like as cool as this, though: [img]

It's not particularly, fast paced, is it!?
Another half hour or so til they catch it with the robotic arm, apparently.
You don't get Strauss with it either.
If you were on board doing it, I reckon you'd just have to play the blue danube as you captured 🙂
edit - bloody hell, great minds think alike, we must have been typing at the same time!
How fast paced do want, they're travelling at 5 miles per second. 😯

Pfft. We're all travelling at 30km/second.
Relatively, they're hardly travelling at all!
And I think I got confused in my rush to post, thinking I'd nearly missed it.
I think the actual capture is at 11:04 GMT or 12:04 BST
s'all relative though. I want pings sounding with decreasing frequency as they steer the capsule towards the ISS.
A couple of minutes ago the commentator said capture would be about 45 minutes after the hour.
Thanks for the link, Graham 🙂

Increasing, shirley?
Heh, Space Docking
Their robotic arm thing is a bit of a let down, isn't it? That's a stick with a sucker on the end, boring!
