It’s being broadcast on the nasa YouTube channel and website.?

Just under 2 hours to launch, they’re just shutting the hatch now.

I definitely saw a meteor not long after the ISS

Thanks @notimagain. I thought it must have been a satellite.

Are you all going to watch the docking?

Yes I am it seems is pretty soon now!

Yes! We've had the live youtube on the tv most of the morning. At last there is something to render the xbox idle Grin

We saw something last night. DH is convinced it was the rocket but I think it was the space station. It was quite big so I don't think it could have been the rocket and very bright. I have never seen the ISS before so don't know what it looks like.

Been watching the NASA feed on youtube most of the morning and getting excited to see the docking. I watched the live docking when Tim Peake went to the ISS and found that exciting although most of my friends though I was mad

Sounds like that's what you saw...the ISS can be seriously bright, usually brighter than pretty much any other star or planet up there other than Venus, the Moon and the Sun...

Crew Dragon wasn't anything like as bright.

About an hour to docking so they say.

PickwickThePlockingDodo · 31/05/2020 14:46

Well looking at images on twitter what I saw was obviously the ISS 🤷‍♀️

MaggieFS · 31/05/2020 15:36

Just watched the docking and now fascinated that they might seem to have a zip issue?

bluefoxmug · 31/05/2020 15:40

they need to get undressed carefully not to damage the suits or they will need to ask the russians for duct tape

What did he do to his head ?

TheHighestSardine · 31/05/2020 19:10

He bopped it on the entry hatch just as he came into the ISS, got the freefall technique wrong, pushed off too strongly and smacked it pretty hard.
