Which went down this week, mostly unnoticed, since it was utterly flawless, S1 recovery and landing dead on target, the Dragon Cargo ship right on the mark and snagged, and docked without a single glitch

But THIS little bit, now this, is cool Like grunts in the field, or sailors away from home for months, it REALLY IS the little things that boost morale. And sending a bunch of little ice cream treats, REAL ice cream not that plastic foam shit as well as Snickers ice cream bars, is very cool
It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. But nice. Only thing as they say, is they have to clean the fridge out before the Dragon de-orbits in 30 (28) days now Somehow I think that won't be a problem

They kindly shared "their" stomach-turning Soviet era food with him in an involuntary exchange.
