  1. @jbazley Heh, I'm sure it couldn't possibly give you as much trouble as Node 3. ;-)
  2. @Sunset_Twilight Thanks for the FF! (I know you do every week, so thanks for all the times I haven't said so before too!) ;-)
  3. @jbazley It's going up early next year I think. Still won't work for larger ORUs though - that's just something we lost with Shuttle.
  4. @jbazley Don't know whether you've heard of it - it's called the JEM ORU Transfer Interface (JOTI). Attaches to the JPM A/L slide table.
  5. @jbazley Very true. I do know however that JSC is working on an ORU transfer device for the JPM A/L - so MBSU-size ORUs could come in Dragon
  6. @SpaceClinton I'm sure I can find an excuse to write one in the near future - if not about this mission, then the next! :-)
  7. @elonmusk Congrats Mr. Musk on a fine flight - I watched with awe as you guys showed the same level of professionalism as I saw with Shuttle
  8. Thanks to Dragon, the era of very little #ISS downmass lasted precisely 10 months and 10 days.
  9. @Sunset_Twilight Heh, just got in, catching up. ;-)
  10. Dragon is home!!!
  11. Hi-res photos of the @SpaceX Dragon now released (pages 8 & 9)!!!! spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images…
  12. @Astro_Alex Is it the UTA? #SpaceQuiz
  13. @spaceguy87 Thanks. :-)
  14. Inside the @SpaceX Dragon Trunk! RT @spaceguy87 SSRMS did survey of Dragon on my shift. Here's a view into empty trunk twitter.com/spaceguy87/sta…
  15. @spaceguy87 That's a cool photo! I hope you don't mind, but I posted it on the NASASpaceflight Forum (I credited and linked to you).
  16. The hatch leading into Dragon has been opened, making Dragon now a room on the ISS. Oh yeahhhhh...... ;-)
  17. I'm sorry, but SpaceX have not docked with the ISS - they have berthed. BERTHED! Very different!!! :-)
  18. Cool HD video: Station Crew Video of the Dragon Grapple and Berthing youtube.com/watch?v=bGoJ66…
  19. Check out this AWESOME timelapse video of today's @SpaceX Dragon capture & berthing at the #ISS! youtube.com/watch?feature=… (By @ronsmytheiii)
  20. Space stories (both by @BBCAmos) dominate two of the three main-page headlines on the BBC News website right now! :-)
