Isbthere a 2nd pass later?
There’s an ISS pass due about 22:10, and you should be able to see Dragon about 5 mins later, apparently (don’t blame me if you can’t

)

10:15 according to the BBC but it’s very low on the horizon so you’ll need a good vantage point

I mean, that was impressive, but the NASA administrator sucking Trumps cock really put a sour taste in my mouth.

Saw something go by around 1015, not sure if it was the ISS or the capsule. I assumed it was the ISA as it was pretty visible.

And just got back in to see Trump on the NASA stream talking about the riots and everything which isn’t space related

Same. Think I've got the neighbour into it as well as he came out to look again.
What was weird though was at about 10.16 we saw something really bright suddenly appear due south which then briefly headed north before fading and disappearing. Meteor?

It was also nice to see Doug and Bud - the team Daddies apparently - doing their hand jiving and general chilled attitude once zero-G was acheived. And the spangly dinosaur they released into the cabin as the zero-g test device.

The ISS is now close enough to be seen by Dragon on the livestream
2:30 GMT is estimated docking time they just said.
