Crew Dragon Demo-2

cool.

In May, the first Crew Dragon demo mission.

So this was Bob Binniken and Doug Hurley go up to the space station and demonstrate that the commercial spacecraft can actually go to the space station properly.

And that'll be followed up in November with a regular crew flight of four astronauts to crew the space station.

There was actually 25 launches from SpaceX, which at the time was an amazing number.

Just remembering that SpaceX will do 150 this year.

So obviously, there's the two Crew Dragons, the test run in March, and then the full payload in November.

They'll also fly 14 Starlink missions, 833 satellites for a network of almost 900 by the end of the year.

Yeah, that is cool.

Uh, in May, the first Crew Dragon demo mission.

So this was Bob, uh, Behnken and Doug Hurley go up to the space station and demonstrate that, uh, the, a commercial spacecraft can actually go to the space station properly.

And that'll be followed up in November with a regular crew flight of four astronauts to crew the space station.

So yeah, there you go.

After- What, this would be nine years since the Atlantis had landed, and the only support for the station was via Soyuz.

Now, the Americans had a vehicle again, the former Crew Dragon.

I got a question, which Michael might know the answer to.
