They almost always lose signal on the drone ships... Something about the vibrations

" kul jou hier en kul jou daar en siedaar"

It is all fake I tell you, smoke and mirrors. It never left the launch pad and the one on the platform was there all the time and is a different one

Brilliant exercise all round.

Dragon manœuvres by manual touchscreen controls. Moving slow & steady towards position for automated docking with ISS soon. Livestream views / monitor from ISS & inside Dragon :

Random question, is touch screen best for maneuvers compared to say a joy/side stick? Has the school of thought around this changed?
