Like physical movements of the space station, noises of something hitting the hull, Radical temperature changes also the same goes for the shuttle that was docked and some astronaughts had to go in there I wonder if they were in a place where they could see it take place or if it was visible at all?I believe this is a first for man or in earlier space days did we know it?

By the way, the "astro-" in "astronaut" neans "star". The "naut" means "navigator" or "sailor". It is the same as in the word "nautical" or "nautilus". "naught" means "nothing".
I am sure the people in the ISS and all the other space programs would prefer "star sailors" to "star nothings".
