This is an 8-minute video that summarizes the first launch of Dragon 2 and the post-launch press conference featuring SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. There is some great stuff here well worth your time to watch. The ending is very inspiring. Video edited by T. J. Cooney. Image above: Artist conception of Dragon 2 docking with the ISS. We have to wait another day for an actual photo. Courtesy SpaceX.
