This is SO historic, and takes me back to my childhood!

I just remember the Challenger explosion. And that happened while I was in school. 😕 Otherwise I was too late to the party for the moon landing.

That was absolutely horrifying. I was at home, fortunately, because I broke down big time.

But, I am going further back to 1969 and watching that historic step on the moon by Neil Armstrong with my father. I was almost ten years old and will never forget it.  

That is why this is so emotionally moving for me; I can see what great strides have been made by technology.

I'm big on sci fi, but that's probably from living in a cornfield all my childhood.

My father took me to all kinds of sci-fi movies back then. I will never forget 2001: A Space Odyssey! But, when I saw space travel live, that was an entirely different ballgame!

They should be opening that hatch soon!  I think they had the cameras taken down so they could maybe use the facilities before boarding the space station.

What are they doing. . .seems like making sure all the video/audio is positioned right for the boarding so we don't miss a thing!
