We’ve begun our quarantine in preparation for the @NASA Crew-7 launch. It’s nice to have a few days at home before heading to Florida. But that also means I have some free time. Ask me anything 👇🏻(preferably about horses or cats)
Crew-7’s Dragon arrived at Pad 39A in Florida ahead of its third mission to the @space_station. As teams prepare to launch Crew-7 and safely bring Crew-6 home, the Crew-8 astronauts completed their first week of training in California
