The four astronauts finished their training at SpaceX headquarters in Los Angeles.

The four-person crew of SpaceX’s all-civilian Inspiration4 mission has arrived in Florida to prep for next week’s historic liftoff.

Time to light this candle.

Crew-4 will carry four astronauts to the station for a six-month stay.

SpaceX and NASA are targeting April 15 2022, for the launch of the Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station, agency officials announced yesterday (Sept. 7).

SpaceX’s under-development rocket is set to soar, and a new render shows how the ship will look with the booster attached.

The Falcon 9 rocket booster, which made its way to to the launch facilities, has also been flown twice already.

But instead of a docking module built into the nosecone of the Crew Dragon, the spacecraft will be outfitted with a massive glass dome that will give its occupants an incredible view of the Earth below.

It’s a momentous occasion for the space company. If successful, SpaceX could prove once and for all that spaceflight is indeed possible — even without decades of training.

Go Inspiration4, go SpaceX 👍👨‍🚀

NASA’s Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter has sent back another batch of stunning photos of the giant planet.

The $1.1 billion spacecraft, which recently marked the tenth anniversary of its launch, has been orbiting Jupiter since 2,016 but recently entered a new second phase of its mission after completing its core five-year survey of the giant planet.

If the state of the planet is getting you down or you’re just terrified that ducks can now speak human words 0 then I advise you to stop what you’re doing for a few moments and gaze in awe at this photo by Thomas Pesquet, a French astronaut currently residing inside the International Space Station.

Pesquet, an engineer with the European Space Agency, is one of the members of the SpaceX Crew-2 mission and member of NASA’s Expedition 65, which launched to the station in April. It’s his second spaceflight and he’s become known around these parts for delivering some absolutely surreal images of our home planet.

This may be his best yet.
