After all those years of assuming that this type of capture would work, we have actual proof that it did work. Great work, crew!

Around 15 years ago, when Japan devised this type of docking method and suggested it, NASA did not agree.
However, I think that this method can dock more safely.

The grapple and berthing method is appropriate for cargo missions but not human capsules. A craft has to undock from the ISS in an emergency if the station is not powered, plus a human has to be inside to operate the arm. So berthing is not appropriate for manned craft, but the berthing method allows for large racks that cannot fit though a docking port, hence why HTV uses the CBM.
