Astronauts dock with the International Space Station

Soyuz docks to the ISS, March 27, 2015. At normal speed this would take 15 minutes, so it's sped up by a factor seven or so.

At the beginning it looks like the ISS is rotating, but they wouldn't do that, they would rotate the Soyuz, but simple rotation wouldn't do the trick either. They need to adjust their position as well. It gets dark at the end of the video, which means the sun has gone down, and gone down rather suddenly. Well, when your day is only an hour and half long, and you're running the show at 7x speed, you don't have a lot of time for watching the sunset.
