SpaceX delivers new crew of 4 to station, ‘glorious sight’

Associated Press  

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A SpaceX capsule carrying four astronauts pulled up Thursday at the International Space Station, their new home until spring. The one German and three U.S. astronauts said it was an emotional moment when they first spotted the space station 20 miles distant — “a pretty glorious sight,” according to Raja Chari, commander of the Dragon capsule. “We’re all very thrilled, very excited.” The Dragon’s entire flight was automated, with Chari and pilot Tom Marshburn monitoring the capsule systems, ready to take control if necessary. At one point, they reported what looked like a “gnarled knob” or possibly a small mechanical nut floating past their camera’s field of view, but SpaceX Mission Control said it posed no concern.
