A few problems from what I heard and saw yesterday.

one of two alignment aerial for the visual dock was intermittent or not working as described.

the comms checks needed to be repeated a few times, as the crew failed to acknowledge step completions more than once. (not a good sign of a trained crew doing it easy...)

Lots of additional delays in the docking tests sequence for double checks after the first check caused concerns.

I think about 4.7k people watching when it finally engaged the first locks. Being two years late and running second hurts a bit in the rating game it seems.
