Treated to a really good sighting of the ISS just after 6:00 this morning from Alton, Hampshire. The ISS was followed by a much fainter object at an angular distance equivalent to the length of my thumb at arm's length. Presumably, this was the undocked SpaceX craft?

Best Wishes,

Geoff :)

Dear David,

Many thanks. I see that the SpaceX docked successfully earlier today and the payload included special mice, dubbed 'Mousetronauts'. No Moon cheese involved presumably.....

Best Wishes,

Geoff
