Just watched Expedition 55 dock to ISS on NASA TV. Right after docking, they took a moment to recognize the 53rd anniversary of GT-3 and the recent passing of John Young. They said it was very fitting that on the anniversary of Young's first flight we dock another crew to the station to continue a permanent presence on orbit.
