Four astronauts — including two from NASA, one Russian, and one Japanese — meet the press Friday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the United States, ahead of their mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Elon Musk’s SpaceX made history once again by successfully sending these four astronauts to the ISS. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, the Crew Dragon capsule approached the International Space Station early Saturday and completed a smooth, problem-free docking — delivering the crew to the orbital outpost after a 16-hour rendezvous. Originally scheduled for launch on Thursday, the mission was delayed by one day due to weather conditions. This flight marked SpaceX’s 11th crewed mission for NASA. Xinhua |
