ISS Robotic Arm Captures Dragon Capsule

Posted by Unknown on from the capitalists-...-in-space! dept.

puddingebola writes "From the aricle, 'The SpaceX Dragon capsule has been successfully grabbed by the International Space Station, marking the first time a private American space flight has run a supply mission to the orbiting platform. The crew of the ISS snatched Dragon out of orbit ahead of schedule, using the space station's robotic arm to guide the capsule in after its careful approach.' NASA has also posted video of the docking."

    That video... sure isn't action-packed.

    At first I thought I was watching a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Like 2001, this video is interesting but slow :)
