Amazing work, SpaceX! :woohoo: :hotcool:
The next Dragon flight will rendezvous with the ISS, but not berth to it. Why go 90% of the way, when the final 10% is so easily accomplished? I think NASA should give SpaceX permission to have Dragon come within 30 feet of ISS, then grab it with the SSRMS and berth it. SpaceX could even put cargo inside Dragon – if you're going to berth Dragon to the ISS, it's pointless having it empty.
