What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA SpaceX cargo Dragon just delivered more than six thousand pounds of supplies to the International Space Station, which is the only package tonight that arrived on the day it was promised.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSix thousand pounds! Look at this footage, the rocket just sits there at sunset like it's waiting for a five-star review.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentIt is a resupply mission, Kenji, and nobody rates it. Though if they did, I assume the crew would tip in freeze-dried ice cream.
