ok, the mission is coming to end, along with these emails.
list of accomplishments:
-falcon 9 is 3 for 3, no one has that record
-dragon did a bunch of cool flips and maneuvers, like
catching up to the space station from 5 million meters away. (these are all first in history for a commercial (private)
company to accomplish)
-dragon got grappled with the america's hat arm 2
-dragon docked to the station
-the astronauts have unloaded all their underwear
-the astronauts have loaded all their loaded underwear, other garbage, water, experiments.
at 3:30 am pst we'll be undocking from the station with the
arm, be pushed away, get into a different orbit, perform a de-orbit burn (over
australia) and reenter to splashdown into the pacific.
splash down is set for 8:30 am tomorrow morning (5/31/12). the boats
left sunday night for their trip out to meet dragon from space.
thank you so much for all the
interest/support/congratulations. makes me feel good about what i've done and
that my work has done something so exciting.
