Dragon docks with ISS

SpaceX's first Crew Dragon spaceship to carry astronauts slid into a dock at the International Space Station on Sunday (May 31), concluding a historic 19-hour voyage to for its veteran NASA crew. The arrival marked a major feat: the first docking of a crewed U.S. spacecraft at the station since NASA's shuttle fleet retired in 2011. It's also the first docking of a commercial spacecraft carrying humans, in this case astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. (Space.com 05/31/20)
