SpaceX launched four astronauts to the International Space Station and the first thing I notice is that they are probably one of the few groups of strangers on or off the planet who can safely hug right now.

No need for camera straps on the ISS
The astronauts living on the International Space Station are in a microgravity environment, so no chance a camera will fall to floor. Just leave it next to you until you need it again!
‘Course you might need velcro to keep the camera stuck to a surface for the same reason. Gravity won’t keep it down but air currents in the station will blow it around.
From the NASA live stream of the Dragon 2 capsule that has just docked with the ISS.

First-stage landing | Onboard camera
SpaceX landed another Falcon 9 rocket last night and have already posted this 30 second video of the decent!
Hopefully we’ll see a normal speed video at some time too. Slowing this one down looks awfully glitchy.

Now, gotta try this in Kerbal Space Program…
