   with the SpaceX parachute engineering lead. He is holding this spring and I am holding the black felt liner that went into the seam around the delta panel, and he remembers personally adding the white adhesive.The SpaceX DM-2 flown hatch is on the floor. I plan to display it to the right of the RL-10 engine behind us.

   thanks y’all. Note the three springs on the next Dragon, before the Delta panel is attached up top. From SpaceX’s post today: "After launch of Crew Dragon’s first operational mission with astronauts on board, SpaceX will launch its 21st cargo resupply mission to the ISS – the first to use the upgraded version of Dragon outfitted for cargo missions. Once this Dragon docks to the space station, there will be two Dragons docked simultaneously. Between crew and cargo missions, there will be at least one Dragon spacecraft attached to the ISS for the entirety of 2021." — SpaceX:
