And we are back to 30mtr. station keeping from the ISS.
It seems the Kibo Module lock has been resolved.

I reckon the plan to move forward will be a spacewalk to cover the kibo in a tweed jacket.

Ok the plan is to make the lidar squint.

Congratulations to Dragon, and to SpaceX.

And they did it at night. What was all that fuss about only doing it during the day?

Congrats SpaceX and NASA!
Did Don Pettit just say that he was looking for FOD in the "uh... uhh.. nut... uh.. uh... nut area"?

Official capture time 08:56 central. On "live streaming" it was 09:01. A five minute delay NASA? Come ON! That's a little ridiculous.

That view is purrty.

Why is that NASA's fault? It's down to the traffic load, the streaming company and so on. Livestream, Ustream or Akamai. Not a problem of NASA's making.Originally Posted by Polyrealastic Observer
Moreover, you're confusing the time of capture, with the time they ANNOUNCE the official time of capture. There is usually a several minute delay between the two. Same with a rocket launch - it'll be L+several minutes before they announce the 'official launch time'
And in either case - why does it matter and why is it ridiculous?
