When space capsules are on the ground the force of gravity ensures that small amounts of dust and debris could be present on the (mostly) horizontal surfaces. This is possible even when care is taken during construction and loading. When the capsule is in space those small amounts of dust and debris are essentially weightless, and the astronauts need to protect themselves until the air can be circulated through the Station's air conditioning filters.
That makes sense, thank you for your answer. But could you tell me what kind of particulates there could be and, what interestes me most, where they come from?
To protect them from any particulates that may be floating around. Toward the end you'll hear one of them say "Visual inspection of Dragon is good. No condensation. General condition is good"
The U.S. has spent about $100 billion. Total cost is about $150 billion. Every dollar spent is spent here on Earth. Thousands of people benefit directly. People can feed their children because they have a job, related to Station. Aside from creating jobs, doing something as difficult as Station advances engineering and science - it makes us a better species - we learn, we grow. The greater the challenge, the greater the reward. The purpose of space programs is to elevate humanity.
Masks and Googles are incase anything broke inside dragon that would be floating around upon opening. I think they just wanted to get to the Ice cream sooner rather than later.
nice view milady! and just for that i would go outspace for about 6 months... and gravity zero and machines, of course... haha just kidding, nice work!
Yes it costs a lot of money to get this going. But every mission creates new jobs, higher investments, jobs for thousands of people. Dragon is the first commercial resupply mission as part of SpaceX. It is a private company, although some tax payer's money was used. In saying that, it creates wealth well above the amount that has been spent - the majority of space missions have created wealth for private companies and for the world governments
Joking aside, this was so awesome to watch this morning, It was almost like being in the ISS watching out of differant windows.

This was only 7 years ago, but now crew dragon is getting prepared to land from the ISS for the first time. We've come a long way.

love the stars & stripes socks! :-)

What are the masks and googles for?
I sure expected something more awesome from the title, but it's still interesting.
whats in there?? did you get the good stuff? everyone wants in on it. lol
Thank goodness, a fresh supply of duct tape. Awesome video; well done.
Everyday is casual Friday in space man, wearing socks to work much??
SpaceX and Dragon - Yeah!!!
why is it called dragon hatch? thanks
It's call Dragon Hatch because the commercial resupply ship is called Dragon, created by SpaceX.
and what if some weird alien pops up when then open that gate ?
I would be a little bit nervous opening a door with a newly formed seal which is all that separates you from the cold vacuum of space :/
They were in a hurry for the ice cream!!
Masks and Googles are incase anything broke inside dragon that would be floating around upon opening. I think they just wanted to get to the Ice cream sooner rather than later.
It looked like the gentleman was using a gas sniffing device near the hatch.

next mission: Drop a research center on Mars

Does it smell like earth? :-P
The ISS has a total cost of about 100 billion dollars.
Their eyes ;) Hahaha
Suni wants her ice cream
The girl reminds me of Ripley hahaha anybody else cant help but stop to think this?
YEA! WHOO! GO ELON
Thats the foods
Yeah, I think I could already stop working if they gave 0.1% of that amount to me..
now get to work. Lots to unload and load. Bet they are excited to haul all that junk in and out lol
