'We've got us a dragon by the tail'

摘要

The privately bankrolled Dragon capsule arrived at the International Space Station for a historic docking Friday, May 25. Captured by astronauts wielding a giant robot arm, it succeeded in making the first commercial delivery into the cosmos. U.S. astronaut Donald Pettit used the space station's 58-foot robot arm to snare the gleaming white Dragon after a few hours of extra checks and maneuvers. The two vessels came together while sailing above Australia.
