Apologies for lack of posts. Still dealing with nerve pain from case of shingles down right arm and hand last February. Much better understanding of what it means to be only left handed. :-)
That said I would like to share a post on Google+ by Alvin Remmers about SpaceX Dragon docking at the ISS.

Dragon Overview
Dragon is a free-flying, reusable spacecraft developed by SpaceX under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. Initiated internally by SpaceX in 2005, the Dragon spacecraft is made up of a pressurized capsule and unpressurized trunk used for Earth to LEO transport of pressurized cargo, unpressurized cargo, and/or crew members.
In May 2012, SpaceX made history when its Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial vehicle in history to successfully attach to the International Space Station. Previously only four governments -- the United States, Russia, Japan and the European Space Agency -- had achieved this challenging technical feat.
