As the relocation comes, tons of people are asking why (again 😅).
Dragon need to relocate on IDA2 port because iROSA's pallet has a GF (Grapple Fixture), that can withstand the load. It can be reached only by Canadarm2 if the Cargo docks on IDA3.
Feel free to share.

I've seen space launches in person: STS-86, CSXT 2004 (1st amateur uncrewed suborbital spaceflight), SpaceShipOne (all 3 suborbital spaceflights), STS-134, CASSIOPE, CRS-3. I watched online but it's big for me as first launch of anyone I met before they were an astronaut.
