This is more embarasing than it is a disaster:
This was the first time that I was close to docking with the ISS in a DGIV. I launched from KSC, yadda yadda yadda (you all know this part). Anyway, I was approaching the station, aligning myself up as perfectly as I could. All this time, I kept thinking I was forgetting something, but I couldn't put my finger on it. About 3 meters out, "Nose cone! $%/*!!" I couldn't stop in time and I broke my nose cone.
Then I tried re-entering.
