SpaceX did another 4 person launch yesterday. I guess it’s getting routine. By the way, it’s SpaceX, not Tesla, for all you excitable Teslacians.
Nearly 24 hours after its on-time liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft arrived at the International Space Station, the first goal of its journey.
Amazing. In a recycled spacecraft.
It took the Dragon spacecraft almost 24 hours to catch up to the space station, which is traveling 17,500 mph at an altitude of about 240 miles.

And on reused boosters - another first. I.m super curious about this.
I wonder what the data shows on booster aging?
Do they improve slightly then degrade, or immediately degrade from new?
I watched the last dragon launch and docking and the automation is incredible, the astronaut workload was laughably low.
It looked like they could have been playing Galaga while docking.

I’ll bet the used capsule has a funny smell in it.
