* Those of you laughing have likely never tried this in a low fuel state / night situation, with a pitching deck awaiting your recovery. Not anyone's idea of happy fun.

Also, drogues breakoff, as shown in the video, hose retracts, when you
get back to station, its easy to fit a new one on and you're good to
go.
