Dragon grappled by Canadarm2

With clouds over Earth forming a backdrop, the SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft is grappled by the Canadarm2 robotic arm at the International Space Station. Expedition 31 Flight Engineers Don Pettit and Andre Kuipers grappled Dragon at 9:56 a.m. (EDT) and used the robotic arm to berth Dragon to the Earth-facing side of the station’s Harmony node at 12:02 p.m. May 25, 2012.

Artist rendering of the new NASA SLS (Space Launch System). Link here, where there’s a video rendering of liftoff. I think it’s pretty cool, though weird going back to straight rockets after seeing the shuttle for so many years.

50 years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.
30 years ago today, John Young (one of the few that have walked on the moon), and Robert Crippen boarded the Space Shuttle Columbia for the shuttle program’s first flight into orbit (STS-1).
