you can't see the dragon right now but it is up see the dragon right now but it is up there and whenll not be able to mess it. it'll be only 20 metres away. so right now dragon is still retreating a little bit further away. it's getting to about 180 metres and once it hits, the crew will send a hold command and then it will kind of let dragon set there for a little bit and you can see in this diagram, again with those approach corridors, crews carefully monitoring making sure the dragon are staying online with everything. once it gets to on ship team at 180 metres they're going to command that hold and will set therefore a little bit then it's over to the flight controllers here to command dragon to begin its approach towards the waypoint. that's that grey dot very close to the international space station you are seeing right there. just to give you an idea of the scale. you can see the thrusters firing up that's dragon right now. it's bright but the contrast, you can see every time one of those thrusters fires you can see its exhaust gases. it's a great view. it's great to get some

so a big success then for spacex and the dragon capsule, and that is the scene dragon capsule, and that theresa may has been warning no one knows what will happen if mps reject her break the deal next week. she was speaking in grimsby, a town which voted heavily in favour of leaving the eu, in the 2016 referendum. next week mps in parliament in westminster face a crucial choice, whether to back the brexit deal or to reject it. back it, and the uk will leave the european union. reject it, and no one knows what will happen. we may not leave the eu for many months. we may leave without the protections that the deal provides. we may never leave at all. the only certainty would be ongoing uncertainty. months more spent arguing about brexit when we could be focusing on improving our nhs, schools and communities. it would be for the 630 odd nps voting at westminster next week to take this decision, but they will take it on your behalf, and on behalf of tens of millions of people across the uk. parliament gave the decision to leave or remain in the european union to you. 33.5 million people too

the dragon is attached but lots more to come.and everything is complete but then after that of the action is not over. then, it is on to hatch opening. it would take about two hours after all of this is complete for those hatches to be open. that is what we are looking at on the timeline. they have to pressurise the vestibule. studio: jonathan amos is watching and listening to all of theirs. jonathan, as we were hearing, we have a soft capture. can we officially say that it has docked? well, it is attached to the space station but they do not have it pulled in hard. it has gone into a new adapter specifically made for the new commercial vehicles. any future vehicle that goes there, it isa future vehicle that goes there, it is a 2—step process, where you put your fingers is a 2—step process, where you put yourfingers on the is a 2—step process, where you put your fingers on the rim is a 2—step process, where you put yourfingers on the rim and is a 2—step process, where you put your fingers on the rim and you is a 2—step process, w

then, they close the hatch, and send dragon on its way. gorgeous shot. it has a heat shield to protect it from the high temperatures. retro rockets and four parachutes will have to slow dragon down before it splashes down in the atlantic ocean. it has been eight long years that the country that won the space race has been grounded — the shuttle was withdrawn from service because it was unsafe. but in 2014, nasa awarded spacex and boeing a combined £5 billion contract so each could build their own spacecraft. if they work as planned, nasa hopes to use the vehicles to send astronauts into space later year. to send astronauts into space later this year. all of this is looking ahead to getting us up into the international space station to prolong operations there, and then we are looking to go on to the moon and on to mars, which the uk will be a part of. one small step for man... one giant leap for mankind. nasa is hoping to return to its golden era, when 50 years ago it was able to send astronauts to the moon. but that all depends on what ha
