Space Station's Robotic Arm Successfully Captures SpaceX Capsule

The crew aboard the International Space Station successfully used the robotic arm to capture the unmanned Dragon capsule in an attempt to reel it in for docking. The Dragon is on track to become the first commercial vessel to visit the space station orbiting Earth. It rocketed into space Tuesday on a mission to deliver a half-ton of supplies.

Minimalist comments as have been recovering from a case of shingles on my right arm and hand and have been in computer withdrawal for the last several months.

Many thanks to you who have sent me links and I only replied with a few thumb poked cellphone email replies.

Geoff in New Zealand sent me this link about Neil Armstrong yesterday.
As the first person to walk on the moon, he is a man whose name will be remembered for generations to come. But one of the other well-known things about Neil Armstrong is that he hardly ever gives interviews.

Hope to bring you more as the arm and hand get over the prickly pain of shingles.
I would not wish this on my worst enemy.  I have a much better appreciation for being left handed. :-)

Thanks for looking up with me.
