SpaceX Dragon docking with ISS
A robotic arm on the International Space Station has reached out to grab the visiting Dragon supply vessel. The arm will shortly move the ship to a free berthing port on the underside of the orbiting platform.
Dragon has been built by the California firm SpaceX and is carrying half a tonne of food and other stores for the ISS astronauts.
It is the first time a private sector company has attempted to deliver freight to the station.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
