1 00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:04,710 This is Mission Control Houston. 2 00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:09,680 The Expedition 31 crew no doubt down in the cupola, 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,160 taking a look at Dragon. 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,190 It's getting close to flying directly underneath the station. 5 00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:21,720 There's still about a mile and a half between Dragon 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,140 and the International Space Station. 7 00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:28,260 But this crew onboard the orbiting complex getting a look 8 00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:31,200 at something that nobody else in space has seen, 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,460 which is the first private spacecraft to fly 10 00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:36,550 up toward the International Space Station. 11 00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:43,110 As these two fly in parallel it's important to note 12 00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:45,340 that the last time we saw an American spacecraft 13 00:00:45,340 --> 00:00:48,330 from this standpoint was almost a year ago 14 00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:51,490 as space shuttle Atlantis bid farewell
