Day 106, orbit 1644 — This timelapse shows the approach and docking of the @SpaceX CRS‑34 🛰 resupply mission on 17 May. Isn’t it amazing to think that this docking manoeuvre takes place while flying at 28,000 km/h around the Earth?

The blurred dot in the middle of the picture is actually a micrometeoroid impact on the Cupola window… No worries, it’s been there for a long time !

News stories include the first trip over the North Pole, issues with the US Dollar and French Franc, strikes in England, trouble in Syria and the Rif, and car accidents (which seem to have featured in many cartoons at this time).

News fatigue or media fatigue is nothing new as this French newspaper cartoon from #OTD 1926 shows

Fr. Walsh

Éamon de Valera disguised as a priest under the name “Fr. Walsh” while travelling to Paris for the Irish Race Convention in 1922, using clerical clothing and false papers to avoid detection. Later became one of the most influential figures in Irish political history.
