Catching a Dragon with a robot arm

I was just watching the next stage in space travel on NASA-TV live.

Astronauts from the ISS were using the Canadian robot arm to catch the SpaceX Dragon capsule - a captivating moment.

I liked the comment from Don Petitt after the grappling "Looks like we caught a Dragon by its tail"

So - the first commercially developed and constructed space craft has now been linked (not yet attached firmly) to the International Space Station.
