I’ve always wondered if docking maneuver's were really simple or if it’s almost an act of god. We watch discovery channel and modern marvels etc. but is it still in the hands of astronauts flying a space vehicle in zero g or is it all computers? Sometimes the shows make it seem like anyone could do it with a bit of training.

It’s a combo of both the computer and the pilot,, they use small mini retro jet actions fired by the pilot and they do use the old eyeball too but there is always a bit of guidance checked and double checked as the process is completed.

The last thing ya want is a collision in space

as to could anyone do it with some training? probably, it’s like operating the big arm on the shuttle. if you can handle a joystick.. ;-)
