SpaceX first launch American Astronauts... 'Vehicle is supersonic'

I wonder if these will shift to earlier times. Here's the original schedule:

10:29 a.m. ET — Docking
12:45 p.m. ET — Hatch Open
1:15 p.m. ET — Welcome ceremony
3:15 p.m. ET — Post-Arrival Conference

Sounds like about hatch open in 30 min or so, from the SpaceX COO, 12:45p Eastern, maybe to schedule. The vestibule between the ISS and Dragon is pressurized, and equalized, so maybe just no rush... Dragon might be up there for a while anyway,it's not a drive by, lol.

Hatch from the ISS to the International Docking Adaptor is open, only the Dragon hatch remains.

They are now on board.
