Notre dragon est minuscule comparé à l’immensité de notre planète, mais il pèse quand même plus de 10 tonnes, et il a fière allure :sunglasses:

A picture of our Dragon in approach to the International Space Station... yes it's tiny compared to the immensity of earth, but it still weighs over 10 000 kg, and it looks really good. :dragon::sunglasses:

These pictures might not seem that much but that's our first sighting of ISS, dozens of kilometers away!!!!!! Our destination, brightly lit by the sun, looked like a tiny insect in the sky, when it's 70m wide in reality. Another stroke of luck as I was looking out the window.

Première vue sur la Station spatiale internationale, à des dizaines de kilomètres ! Notre destination était vivement illuminée par le Soleil. Elle mesure 70 m et pourtant on aurait dit un insecte minuscule ! Un autre coup de chance, je regardais par le hublot au bon moment.

Dragon has two rather large windows, so when the orientation of the spacecraft permits, we can observe the ground below... or the curvature of Earth
