NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken boarded the International Space Station Sunday in the historic Demo-2 mission with SpaceX.

The hatch was opened at 1:02 p.m. ET. After making final preparations, the astronauts were warmly welcomed aboard the orbiting space lab by fellow NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, commander of the Space Station’s Expedition 63 and Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner. Behnken was the first to enter the space station.

The SpaceX Dragon Endeavour spacecraft made its ‘soft capture’ docking with the International Space Station at 10:16 am ET after an almost 19-hour journey to the orbiting space lab. The space station was 262 statute miles above the border of northern China and Mongolia when the docking occurred. “Hard capture” docking was complete at 10:28 am ET with the full docking sequence complete about two minutes later. more here

  10. My son Ian thought I was the Moody Blues (I practice my voice and guitar almost every day). We were walking through a store when Ian was 5, or 6, and The Story In Your Eyes was played on the overhead. Ian told everybody, “My Dad is on the radio!”

    I was stammering explanations…

    He also thought I was Jethro Tull. HAA!

  11. Ian is 8 now. We were listening to the classic rock station in Springfield and Layla came on. About 15 seconds of it. It turned out to be a leader for the station identification. Ian GOT PISSED!

    “What? BUNCH OF PUNKS!”

    I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off. I was pissed, too, but his reaction was perfect.

    Fuck. I sound like Joey Biden.

    I can hear the music in my head, but I’m bereft of communicating it to you.
