I have watched the Mount dock in Alton. After the final alignment a ways out the engines were cut off for a several seconds. Kind of eerie watching that silent glide waiting for the start-up in reverse. Must have made the crew nervous now and then knowing that a failure to restart would mean a crash but I never heard of that happening.
Now all they have to do is shift into reverse. What is the fun in that?
