According to the sked, they were to dock at 4:06pm CST. They got within a couple of feet and held position for several minutes before docking. I was watching with the sound down and wondered if there was a last minute problem. Looks like another inspection is to be made because Nission Control had a reading of an impact on the leading edge of the left outboard wing. Hope it's nothing. Anyway, Discovery put on a great show. The backflip was nice but the background scenery was beautiful.
