SpaceX Crew Dragon, community highlights, and reflections
Hi Tech Geeks community,
The biggest leap this world has taken since our last newsletter is the successful launch of two astronauts on a SpaceX Crew Dragon. NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken took a flight to space aboard its Crew Dragon spacecraft using a Falcon 9 rocket.
Now you may ask, why does it matter?
It matters because it’s been multiple decades since a human took off from the U.S. on a new space launch vehicle, and this is also the first time anyone has flown to space from an American launch site since the Space Shuttle program was officially retired in 2011.
This also means NASA will not rely on Russia’s Roscosmos and its Soyuz spacecraft anymore to transport its astronauts to the International Space Station, which as a result will save more than $30 million per astronaut per trip.
Behnken and Hurley are set to stay for a period of between six and sixteen weeks, depending on NASA’s determination of how long the mission should last.
Here is the moment to bless you with goosebumps.
