Yeppers Lynne.

And, if you missed the docking with the space station, watch it in rerun. That just happened in the last 5-10 minutes.

I totally missed this one!!!! I didn’t catch it on the news or tv. Very odd! This should have been a big news event.

Huge news locally of course as it means jobs for Floridians.

Sorry I didn’t get the docking news out faster. It surprised even me when they interrupted local programming with the capsule closing in at less than 100 meters from the ISS.

I was right in the middle of my other official job - the first one being of course the official Local PNF Space Reporter - of chief dishwasher. That effort would have gone much faster if we’d have had Tang and Space Food Sticks instead of fruit, omelettes, and bear claws.

I just watched the video. Congrats to all involved for great planning and execution.

Sorry for the alert and then bailing on you all. Maybe I need a coanchor.

I had to deal Urgently with a complicated “accident” with new doggo Lily.

I turned to the news shortly after posting this short update and they were ending the video coverage.

Looks like they are aboard the ISS as of sometime in the last hour.
