Arrivederci #Crew4, see you in six months! 🚀 Following a successful launch from NASAKennedy, the #Crew4 astronauts aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft are set to dock with the ISS at 8:15 pm ET (00:15 UT) after a 15.5-hour transit. With commercial companies taking the lift of transporting astronauts to-and-from the orbiting laboratory, NASA can focus on broader horizons. While aboard the space station, the astronauts will perform experiments like growing artificial human retinas, growing plants, and searching for an organic substitute for concrete. They will also be a part of a more extensive study on the effects of long-duration spaceflight on people, a vital step as we set out to go back to the Moon and beyond.
