Umm...this is utterly wrong, and has been since Gemini 10 in 1966, not to mention Skylab, Mir, ISS
- nordsieck 6y ago> Umm...this is utterly wrong, and has been since Gemini 10 in 1966, not to mention Skylab, Mir, ISS There's a big difference between docking with a spacecraft that is designed to be docked with and capturing a satellite that was not designed to be captured. People are making good progress on this - Northrup Grumman just had a successful life extension satellite mission very recently. But it's far from a mature technology.
