Timelapse: Dragon’s Departure from the ISS

This video shows various views of the Dragon capsule being unberthed and moving away from the International Space Station, and is sped up at 15 times actual speed. The kicker comes at the end with a look back at the ISS. Not quite as good a view as the old space shuttle flyarounds, but nice to see the station as a whole.
