Bob's suit pressure was a little low after they did the checks on it when they suited up before docking.  They wanted him to check out things as he was taking it off to see if something wasn't fastened and sealed correctly.

Bob's suit wasn't at optimal pressure, it was still safe in the event of depressurization though. They asked him to check his zippers to see if they were in the correct position and it sounds like both the zippers on his wrists were not fully zipped.

During the Apollo missions they would do their dance routines for months and months. I’d imagine these guys have done so many practice iterations they lost count.

Roscosmos director gave a really good short congratulatory speech on Twitter, welcoming the US back to manned space flight, saying it is good to have alternate means for "us" to get into space, and that he is certain that the success of this mission is for the good of all mankind.

Pretty mature of him, really, hinting the Russians might want to bitch a ride with us in the future and making it clear their rockets are still available for our use. Let's see if this tweet link feature works...



Edit. Nope, of course not.

I had heard somewhere that there is going to be some sort of seat swapping deal between us and the Russians once operational Commercial Crew flights get going (American astronauts flying on Soyuz still, and Russians flying on Dragon/Starliner).

Roscosmos lauds manned SpaceX launch, says it won’t sit idly & promises ‘interesting’ response


Musk himself couldn’t resist gently needling the Roscosmos chief Dmitry Rogozin shortly after Falcon 9 lifted off.

“The trampoline is working,” he quipped in a tongue-in-cheek reference to Rogozin, who joked back in 2014 that the US should be ready to send astronauts into orbit using gymnastics equipment if it ever sanctioned Russia’s space industry.

Sergei Kirkalev is a member of the Astronaut Brotherhood, with 6-missions, and 803-days in space.
He has time on the Mir (TM-7, TM-12, and TM-13), Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-60), Space Shuttle Endeavour (STS-88), and the International Space Station (Expedition 1, where he quite literally turned the lights on for the first time & Expedition 11).
"An Astronaut's Astronaut" if you will.

Dmitry Rogozin is a politician, and is well known as being 'generally disagreeable'.

Yup.

I honestly can't figure out why Rogozin would even have been appointed over Roscosmos.

During the whoopla on Wednesday's not-launch, some airhead on social media asked why we are taking 19 hours to get to the ISS when the Russians only take 6.
The Soyuz gets there faster because the astronauts find Soyuz capsules to be smelly, cramped, and all around no fun.
