Great footage, especially on the approach. I’ve tried that SpaceX docking simulator online a couple of times, and it is a bear. Just be glad none of you have to go up with me and I have to fly it in manually. I’d have us passing Elon’s Mars Tesla in about six week flat. LOL!

I was thinking just the opposite myself. The pilots don't appear to be doing anything - one of them sits with fingers laced together, watching it all on TV. I'm thinking "Hey, even I could do THIS job!"

They even had time to doff their space suits and change into fresh coveralls before docking, if you believe the timeline of this video... LOL

I'm glad it went so smoothly it looked easy.
