Don,
I was listening to NPR at work the day you captured the Dragon waiting to hear what you would say. I equated it with Neil A’s words when he stepped onto the Moon. Man’s first commercial venture into space is a huge first “step”. The “Dragon by the tail” comment was perfect. I would love to find that audio on line.
Anyway, when are we going to see some pictures of the Venus transit from you? I know you guys watched. We would love to hear your perspective on this event. I rushed home from work that day, put my camera to the eyepiece and actually managed to get a good capture. Nothing fancy, especially compared to those on line, but very special to me. What happened from your vantage in the shadows of Venus and Earth…?

Mark,

You can find some of the Venus Transit photos taken from the ISS here on NASA’s website:

I followed quite seriously the Dragon journey and was impressed by how easy it appeared. This really shows how efficiently work has been done ahead by both SpaceX, NASA and you guys up there !

When I discovered this picture, this made me laugh… you can do so much and have so much tech, but the printer is missing magenta
I hope next Dragon will help you fix that problem.

Enjoy the rest of your stay
