No comment: SpaceX sends four astronauts to the International Space Station

SpaceX sent four astronauts to NASA’s International Space Station on Wednesday, April 27, less than two days after completing a richly chartered flight.

This is the first NASA crew to be composed of men and women equally, including the first black woman to undertake a long-haul space flight, Jessica Watkins.

The astronauts were due to arrive at the space station on Wednesday evening, 16 hours after their pre-dawn liftoff from Kennedy Space Center. They will spend five months in the spin lab.

SpaceX has now launched five NASA crews and two special flights in less than two years.

The Elon Musk-owned company has a busy schedule, as it just finished taking three businessmen to and from the space station as NASA’s first special guests.
