Why Astronauts Never Wash Their Clothes

Astronauts have a pretty good reason for not washing their clothes – it's all about saving water! In space, every drop of water is precious, so they can't afford to waste it on laundry. Instead, they wear their clothes until they get too dirty or smelly, then simply discard them. These used clothes become part of the space junk orbiting Earth. To keep fresh, astronauts often wear multiple layers, sort of like a never-ending fashion show with undergarments. And when they're done with a piece of clothing, it's disposed of during reentry, where it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.

Life is a journey of discovery. A rainbow of challenges stirring your heart, tantalizing your mind, engaging your body, and thrilling your spirit. As much as challenges scar us, they also show that we are alive! Challenges give purpose to us every day. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Initially, I know what you are thinking --- If I had no challenges, that would be great. It would make life easier. But would it make life easier? Possibly at the beginning. However, the journey of discovery would lessen causing you to become settled and bored with where you are in life. There would be no incentive to be your best selfie or stretch yourself in knowledge, thoughts, and actions. Discovery is the process of finding something unexpectedly or in the course of a search. A journey of discovery is ignited by the challenges in your every day. My kitty cat, Snickers, thinks she is the master of all cats. She is very smart. But even she runs into challenges. Look at SpaceX and the splashdown of the "Endeavour", named by astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken on Sunday afternoon. A mission of "testing"; a test flight. A journey of discovery will throw twists and turns, loops, and dips. In all of it though, you must own your own actions. The K.I.S.S. ~ Own your own actions! We would love life to be so easy where everything is spelled out. Little to no thought would make decision-making super easy. But life isn't about easy. It's about the simple strategies, consistency, and perseverance that keeps you on the journey of discovery. Life is full of smiles and frowns. But how you see it determines how you show up for the rainbows of challenges. So how do you own your own actions? Be true to your circumstances. Don't sugar coat everything. You know that song Just a Spoonful of Sugar helps the medicine go down. If you are not real with where you are and what is happening, other mistakes or situations could rock you more. Ownership doesn't mean defeat. Failure isn't the end of the world. It's just a hiccup in your journey of discovery. If you fall short or there's a failure, you still have the opportunity for one more step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." Redirect your actions. Take A.I.M.! The cool thing about living life is you can make changes midway. Life is a journey of discovery. Get your heart, mind, body, and spirit ready for adventure every day. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Becoming the first crew blasted into space aboard a rocket booster and a crew capsule previously used on a spaceflight, NASA and SpaceX have successfully sent four astronauts from 3 countries into space.  The same Endeavor capsule sent two astronauts to the ISS in 2020.  Until they dock later this weekend at the ISS, they will have time to get some sleep and eat prepacked meals.  Also notable for this mission is the fact that the pilot is married to the pilot of the previous one: Megan McArthur's husband is fellow astronaut Bob Behnken, who was part of that historic first NASA-SpaceX mission last May. In a previous interview, Behnken said this time it's "her turn to focus on getting her mission accomplished" and his turn to watch their young son.  This was the third crew sent to space by SpaceX in 11 months after a 9 year break from sending humans to space from US soil.  SpaceX also nailed the rocket landing back on Earth.  This is all part of SpaceX’s plans for cheaper space flight by reusing many of the components.

The capsule, named Resilience, and its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rolled out to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida late Monday into early Tuesday (Nov. 9-10), NASA officials said. The Falcon 9 is scheduled to launch Saturday evening (Nov. 14), sending four astronauts — NASA's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi — to the orbiting lab on Crew-1, SpaceX's first operational astronaut mission for NASA. NASA's Commercial Crew Program awarded SpaceX a $2.6 billion contract in 2014 to fly at least six operational crewed missions to the space station. The six-month-long Crew-1 is the first of those contracted flights, but it won't be SpaceX's first-ever astronaut mission. That distinction goes to Demo-2, a test flight that sent NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the station for two months this past summer. SpaceX Kicks-Off Assembly on First Super Heavy Starship Booster in South Texas SpaceX's Super Heavy might be effectively complete in one month, and we couldn't be more excited. Link: https://interestingengineering.com/spacex-kicks-off-assembly-on-first-super-heavy-starship-booster-in-south-texas SpaceX kicks-off Starship Super Heavy assembly in South Texas Technically, SpaceX could build much smaller booster prototypes for the initial test flights into orbit — this might be done via modifying the tank design of Starship — but rocketry isn't an exceedingly modular enterprise, Teslarati reports. However, whether the move comes via confidence or contingency, SpaceX is jumping directly into Starship prototype development, toward a full-scale Super Heavy booster production and testing platform. Super Heavy could be one of SpaceX's easiest projects Indeed, in an inversion of the typical relationship, the next-gen rocket's booster will probably be much simpler than the upper stage — which would be the largest spacecraft with reusable parts and upper stage in the world. Lacking a need for a tiled heat shield, aerodynamic control surfaces (discounting Falcon-style grid fins), a conical nose, and possibly even internal header tanks, the only serious challenge Super Heavy faces for the first time is developing an engine section capable of feeding and supporting up to 28 Raptor engines. Jim Bridenstine will step aside as NASA chief when President-elect Biden takes over: report Link: https://www.space.com/nasa-chief-bridenstine-step-aside-president-biden NASA will apparently be getting a new leader after president-elect Joe Biden is sworn in. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine won't remain in the agency's lead role in the Biden administration even if asked, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report reported on Sunday (Nov. 8). "You need somebody who has a close relationship with the president of the U.S. ... somebody trusted by the administration …. including OMB [Office of Management and Budget], National Space Council, National Security Council," Bridenstine told Irene Klotz, space editor for Aviation Week, Aerospace Daily & Defense Report's parent publication. "I think I would not be the right person for that in a new administration." "There is a political agreement that America needs to do big things in space exploration, that we need to lead the world ... There have been lessons learned from the past, and I think Congress is in a good position to make sure that we have sustainable programs going forward," he said in one of the tweeted snippets. And in another one, he stressed that "there are a lot of people that can do great work as the NASA administrator." This Bacterium Survived on The Outside of The Space Station For a Whole Damn Year Link: https://www.sciencealert.com/this-bacterium-survived-on-the-outside-of-the-space-station-for-a-year A year in space is no walk in the park. Just ask Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015. His long-term stay in space changed his DNA, telomeres, and gut microbiome, he lost bone density, and he still had sore feet three months later. So, it's quite a feat that a species of bacterium first found in a can of meat, Deinococcus radiodurans, was still alive and kicking after a year spent living on a specially designed platform outside the pressurised module of the ISS. Researchers have been investigating these mighty microbes for a while; back in 2015, an international team set up the Tanpopo mission on the outside of the Japanese Experimental Module Kibo, to put hardy bacterial species to the test. Now, D. radiodurans has passed with flying colours. This isn't the longest time D. radiodurans has been kept in these conditions – back in August we wrote about a sample of the bacterium being left up there for three whole years. But the team weren't trying for a world record, instead they were trying to uncover what makes D. radiodurans just so good at surviving in these extreme conditions. So, after a year of radiation, freezing and boiling temperatures, and no gravity, the researchers got the spacefaring bacteria back down to Earth, rehydrated both a control that had spent the year on Earth and the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sample, and compared their results. The survival rate was a lot lower for the LEO bacteria compared to the control version, but the bacteria that did survive seemed to be doing okay, even if they had turned a little different to their Earth-bound brethren.

On this episode of Space Curious, we're talking about our fascination with astronauts, an elite class of humans who have trained years for spaceflight but they are also people with families, hobbies --and --bodily functions. This year marked the first-time astronauts have launched from Florida since 2011 when astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in the Dragon spacecraft, made it to the space station -- and returned home, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico. It was an epic return for American human space exploration. The astronauts -- affectionately known as “The Space Dads” -- answered a lot of questions about their journey, including about the Crew Dragon bathroom. To ask the question about why we want to know about the little oddities of space life, Space Curious host Emilee Speck spoke to space journalists Marina Koren, of The Atlantic, and Brendan Byrne, of WMFE, along with retired NASA astronaut Terry Virts. Virts offered his perspective of living in space, including some details you might not expect like giving his space station crew mate a haircut and the sounds he misses most from his spaceflights. While, Byrne and Koren both remind us that astronauts' families are also heroes of spaceflight.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Josh Clemente. Josh, the founder of Levels, is a mechanical engineer and CrossFit-L2 trainer. At SpaceX, he led a team to develop life support systems that sustained astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on their May 2020 trip to the International Space Station aboard Dragon Endeavor: the first new crew-carrying spacecraft since 1980. Josh has also spent time designing and building Hyperloop technology and leading engineering for a company providing vehicle-based rescue systems for emergency response teams. But, we barely talked about any of that stuff today, because, as I already mentioned, Josh is the founder of a really fascinating company that I've been following for a while, called Levels. Their idea is that wearables are nice, but they rarely give you real, powerful data about what's going in your body. Well, Levels is trying to change that, by coming out with the first consumer-available continuous glucose monitor. Now, you've probably heard the hardcore biohackers in the world, like Dave Asprey and Tim Ferriss, wearing these glucose monitors that they need all kinds of connections to get, and all the wonderful things you can learn by wearing a glucose monitor. So, I wanted to learn what the big deal is with these, and why it's such an important technology to put in the hands of consumers. I ended up learning a lot about what turns out to be one of the most important molecules in the body - glucose - which powers almost everything that you do. And that's why we need to make sure that we have just the right Goldilocks level layers in our body at all times - more about this in the episode. I think you are really going to enjoy this episode, as I did! -Jonathan Levi

Ngày 31/05/2020, hai phi hành gia Bob Behnken và Doug Hurley của cơ quan không gian Hoa Kỳ NASA, sau 19 giờ bay trên phi thuyền Crew Dragon của tập đoàn Mỹ SpaceX, đã vào được Trạm Không gian Quốc tế ISS, đánh dấu thành công trọn vẹn của chuyến bay có người lái đầu tiên do một công ty tư nhân thực hiện và cũng là chuyến bay có người lái đầu tiên của ngành không gian Mỹ từ 9 năm qua. Hoa Kỳ cho tới nay vẫn không quên mối nhục, hay đúng hơn là cú sốc, bị Liên Xô qua mặt, khi Iouri Gagarine đã là người đầu tiên bay lên không gian ngày 12/04/1961. Gần một năm sau, ngày 20/02/1962, John Glenn mới là người Mỹ đầu tiên bay trên quỹ đạo vòng quanh Trái Đất giống như Gagarine. Sau nhiều chuyến bay không người lái và chuyến bay thử nghiệm, phi thuyền của chuyến bay Apollo 11 mới đáp xuống Mặt Trăng ngày 21/07/1969 và Neil Armstrong trở thành người đầu tiên đặt chân lên vệ tinh tự nhiên của Trái Đất, rửa được mối nhục của Hoa Kỳ với đối thủ Liên Xô. Nhưng đến năm 1972, tổng thống Richard Nixon từ bỏ các chuyến bay có người lái lên Mặt Trăng, khởi động chương trình các phi thuyền con thoi đưa các phi hành gia lên quỹ đạo Trái Đất. Với việc xây dựng Trạm Không gian Quốc tế ISS, bắt đầu từ năm 1998, một dự án 100 tỷ đôla, phần lớn do Hoa Kỳ tài trợ, các phi thuyền con thoi Mỹ được sử dụng liên tục. Nhưng sau tai nạn của phi thuyền con thoi Columbia ngày 01/02/2003, tổng thống George W. Bush quyết định là đến năm 2010 sẽ chấm dứt việc sử dụng các phi thuyền này. Như vậy là sau 30 năm phục vụ, phi thuyền con thoi Mỹ đã bay chuyến cuối cùng vào tháng 7/2011. Kể từ khi Hoa Kỳ chấm dứt các chuyến bay của phi thuyền con thoi vào năm 2011, các phi hành gia Mỹ phải « đi nhờ » các phi thuyền của Nga để bay lên Trạm Không gian Quốc tế, hiện đang bay với tốc độ 27.000 km/h chung quanh Trái Đất. Trả lời RFI Pháp ngữ ngày 27/05, ông Stefan Barensky, tổng biên tập tạp chí Aerospatium, nhắc lại:  « Có một sự gián đoạn không ai ngờ trước trong việc đưa các phi hành gia Mỹ lên không gian : Khi quyết định ngưng chương trình các phi thuyền con thoi sau tai nạn Columbia năm 2003, Hoa Kỳ đã dự tính là phi thuyền Orion của chương trình Constellation sẽ tiếp nối các phi thuyền con thoi vào năm 2012. Chương trình Constellation đã không được thực hiện, phi thuyền Orion vẫn đang được phát triển và theo dự kiến sẽ được phóng lên vào năm tới. Trong khi chờ đợi, phải tìm một giải pháp thay thế, đó là nhờ đến các tập đoàn tư nhân. Ý định này thật ra đã có từ 14 năm qua. Trước đây, NASA vẻ kiểu, thiết kế các phi thuyền và đặt mua các phi thuyền đó từ ngành công nghiệp. Còn bây giờ, thay vì mua phi thuyền, họ mua một dịch vụ, giao cho ngành công nghiệp sản xuất phi thuyền để cung cấp dịch vụ đó. Dĩ nhiên là ngành công nghiệp không thể tự mình làm được, mà NASA đã đầu tư vào rất nhiều để hỗ trợ ngành công nghiệp, giúp giải quyết những vấn đề nẩy sinh. Riêng đối với SpaceX, tiến trình diễn ra theo hai giai đoạn : đầu tiên công ty này chế tạo một một phi thuyền để vận chuyển hàng hóa đến trạm không gian quốc tế, đó là phi thuyền Crew Dragon, đã bay từ năm 2012. Đến năm 2014, NASA ký một hợp đồng mới, cải tiến phi thuyền này thành phi thuyền có người lái. Công việc này đã mất nhiều thời gian hơn dự kiến, vì lẽ ra phi thuyền đã được phóng từ năm 2017 » Hết phụ thuộc vào Nga Cơ quan không gian NASA như vậy là đã giao cho SpaceX phát triển một loại « taxi không gian », để Mỹ không còn phụ thuộc vào Nga khi cần « đưa đón » các phi hành gia trên không gian. Trong khuôn khổ một hợp đồng giá cố định 3 tỷ đôla, SpaceX cam kết sẽ thực hiện cho NASA 6 chuyến bay khứ hồi đến Trạm Không gian Quốc tế, với 4 phi hành gia trên phi thuyền. Trả lời RFI Pháp ngữ ngày 27/05/2020, ông Léopold Eyharts, cựu phi hành gia Pháp của Cơ quan Không gian châu Âu (ESA) và cũng là một tướng không quân, cho biết : « NASA đã trở thành khách hàng của SpaceX, nhưng SpaceX cũng có thể bán « ghế » cho các khách hàng tư nhân, các doanh nghiệp hoặc các cá nhân, nếu họ có đủ khả năng tài chính để mua « vé ». Hãng Boeing cũng đã được NASA chọn cách đây vài năm để cung cấp dịch vụ vận chuyển phi hành gia. Boeing đã cho bay thử một phi thuyền cách nay không lâu và cũng sẽ cho bay một phi thuyền có người lái trong vài tháng tới. Đây sẽ là một trong hai công ty cung cấp dịch vụ vận chuyển phi hành gia tư nhân » Thật ra, từ năm 2012, SpaceX đã chở các kiện hàng lên ISS, nhưng đây là lần đầu tiên NASA giao cho công ty này chở phi hành gia lên không gian. Hôm 31/05, khi đích thân đến trung tâm không gian Kennedy để chứng kiến tên lửa cất cánh, mang theo Bob Behnken và Doug Hurley lên trạm ISS, tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đã tuyên bố, kể từ nay, « tương lai thuộc về ngành công nghiệp không gian tư nhân ». Đối với nhà tỷ phú Elon Musk, người sáng lập tập đoàn SpaceX, đây là bước đầu trong cuộc hành trình « nhằm thiết lập một nền văn minh trên Sao Hỏa », biến nhân loại thành một loài « đa hành tinh ». Trước mắt, SpaceX đã đánh bại Boeing, tập đoàn cũng đã được NASA giao phó việc vận chuyển phi hành gia Mỹ trong tương lai. Chuyến bay thử vào năm ngoái của phi thuyền Starliner do tập đoàn máy bay này chế tạo đã thất bại. SpaceX còn là công ty duy nhất trên thế giới thu hồi các tên lửa đẩy, có nghĩa là hôm 31/05, sau khi tên lửa được phóng lên 2 phút 33 giây, tầng một của tên lửa sẽ tách ra và trở về đậu trên một sà lan ngoài khơi bờ biển. Tầng thứ hai sẽ tách ra khỏi phi thuyền Crew Dragon 12 phút sau khi tên lửa được phóng lên. Nga mất thế độc quyền Sau chuyến bay thành công của SpaceX, ngành không gian Nga đã mất một thế độc quyền trên không gian. Từ năm 2011, khi Hoa Kỳ chấm dứt các chuyến bay của phi thuyền con thoi, các chuyến bay có người lái chỉ do các tên lửa Soyouz của Nga, an toàn hơn và rẻ tiền hơn, thực hiện. Trong suốt 9 năm qua, toàn bộ các phi hành gia bay lên ISS đều xuất phát từ sân bay vũ trụ Baikonour của Nga, sau khi đã tập luyện trên lãnh thổ nước Nga và …phải học tiếng Nga.            Theo lời ông Léopold Eyharts, kể từ nay các phi hành gia lên Trạm Không gian Quốc tế có một phương tiện thay thế: « Thay đổi quan trọng với sự tham gia của các phi thuyền tư nhân, đó là kể từ nay có một phương tiện thay thế cho phi thuyền Soyouz. Cho tới nay Soyouz là phương tiện duy nhất, nếu xảy ra trục trặc gì, Trạm Không gian Quốc tế sẽ gặp nhiều vấn đề. Như cách đây hai năm, Soyouz đã gặp sự cố, gây ra một tình trạng phức tạp cho việc vận chuyển các phi hành gia lên trạm không gian. Phía Nga đã khắc phục tương đối nhanh chóng và chỉ vài tháng sau đã có thể đưa các phi hành gia lên trở lại. Nhưng rõ ràng tình hình như vậy rất bấp bênh. SpaceX đã giúp giải quyết vấn đề chính, đó là mang lại một phương tiện thay thế để vận chuyển phi hành gia lên Trạm Không gian Quốc tế.” Thành công của SpaceX buộc ngành không gian Nga phải tăng cường tiềm lực của mình. Lãnh đạo cơ quan không gian Nga Roskosmos, ông Dmitri Rogozine, cho biết cơ quan này dự trù vào mùa thu tới sẽ thử nghiệm tên lửa hạng nặng Angara, sẽ được dùng để thay thế các tên lửa Proton. Nhưng trước mắt, cơ quan không gian Nga Roskosmos sẽ mất đi một nguồn thu nhập đáng kể. Cho tới nay, mỗi « vé » bay lên ISS, cơ quan NASA phải trả cho Roskosmos khoảng 80 triệu đôla. Nếu kể từ nay Space X chở các phi hành gia Mỹ, mỗi năm Roskosmos có thể bị mất hơn 200 triệu đôla, một số tiền đáng kể đối với ngân sách chỉ có khoảng 2 tỷ đôla của cơ quan này, theo tính toán của chuyên gia Andreï Ionine, Viện Hàn lâm Không gian Tsiolkovski ở Matxcơva, được hãng tin AFP trích dẫn. Theo nhà nghiên cứu Isabelle Sourbès-Verger, chuyên gia về các vấn đề không gian, Trung tâm Quốc gia Nghiên cứu Khoa học CNRS của Pháp, cũng được hãng tin AFP trích dẫn, chính nhờ khoản thu nhập từ các chuyến bay chở các phi hành gia Mỹ, mà trong những năm qua Nga đã có thể tiếp tục sản xuất tên lửa Soyouz và duy trì được trọng lượng của họ trong các cuộc thương lượng về ISS. Thấy giá  « vé » của mỗi phi hành gia bay lên không gian trên phi thuyền của Space X là 60 triệu đôla, lãnh đạo cơ quan không gian Nga Roskosmos bèn thông báo là sẽ ông sẽ cố gắng giảm 30% giá « vé » của họ. Nhưng chuyên gia Andreï Ionine tỏ vẻ hoài nghi về sức cạnh tranh của Roskosmos: « Space X tiết kiệm bằng cách sử dụng các động cơ giá rẻ và sản xuất gần như toàn bộ các linh kiện. Còn Nga muốn làm như thế thì sẽ phải thay đổi toàn bộ quy trình sản xuất. »  Ông Ionine nhấn mạnh : do không có phương tiện và cũng do thiếu quyết tâm chính trị, rồi lại bị nạn tham nhũng đục khoét, ngành không gian Nga nay không sáng chế gì mới, chủ yếu chỉ lo hoàn thiện các công nghệ có từ thời Liên Xô. Ấy là chưa kể ngoài SpaceX, ngành không gian Nga nay còn phải đối đầu với sự cạnh tranh từ các tên lửa của Trung Quốc. Các nhà quan sát cũng nhận thấy là tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin có vẻ quan tâm nhiều đến việc phát triển các khả năng quân sự, nhất là các tên lửa công nghệ cao siêu thanh, hơn là lo củng cố vị thế của một cường quốc không gian. Xu hướng tư nhân hóa Về phía Hoa Kỳ, tham vọng không gian thì lại thay đổi tùy theo mỗi tổng thống. Vào năm 2010, tổng thống Barack Obama đã hủy bỏ chương trình đưa người trở lại Mặt Trăng, nhưng đề ra mục tiêu đưa các phi hành gia lên quỹ đạo Sao Hỏa vào năm 2035, đồng thời phát triển các tên lửa đẩy để chở các phi hành gia đến ISS. Người kế nhiệm ông, tổng thống Donald Trump lại ra lệnh cho cơ quan NASA trở lại Mặt Trăng từ đây đến năm 2024, trong khuôn khổ chương trình Artemis và chuẩn bị cho các chuyến bay đến Sao Hỏa trong tương lai.     Theo lời ông Léopold Eyharts, việc « tư nhân hóa » dịch vụ đưa phi hành gia lên quỹ đạo chính là nằm trong chiến lược lâu dài của NASA: « Cần phải thấy rằng, khi giao cho các công ty tư nhân nhiệm vụ vận chuyển phi hành gia lên quỹ đạo thấp, NASA không còn phải bận tâm đến những công việc bình thường, để có thể tập trung sức lực và nguồn tài chính vào chương trình thám hiểm không gian đầy tham vọng hơn, với sự hợp tác của các cơ quan không gian Nga, Nhật, Canada và của Cơ quan Không gian châu Âu. Dự án của Mỹ trước mắt đưa các phi hành gia lên trạm nằm trên quỹ đạo của Mặt Trăng, rồi sau đó đặt chân trở lại Mặt Trăng, có thể là trong khoảng 4 hoặc 5 năm nữa, tuy chúng ta cũng phải thận trọng về lịch trình dự kiến. Mục tiêu lâu dài của Mỹ không hẳn là có mặt thường trực trên Mặt Trăng, mà là thực hiện những chuyến bay thường xuyên đến hành tinh này. » Nhưng theo ông Barensky, tổng biên tập tạp chí Aerospatium, tuy SpaceX là tập đoàn tư nhân, chủ nhân của nó, Elon Musk cũng có tham vọng chinh phục không gian không kém gì NASA, đến mức được xem là đối thủ cạnh tranh của cơ quan này : « Trong việc phát triển phi thuyền Crew Dragon, hay đúng là hai phiên bản của phi thuyền Crew Dragon, NASA đã dự kiến đầu tư khoảng 8 tỷ đôla. Với khoản đầu tư đó, dĩ nhiên là NASA có quyền giám sát chương trình. Cho nên hai bên đã làm việc chung với nhau nhiều. SpaceX là một đối tác thương mại, một nhà cung cấp dịch vụ, nhưng một số người xem tập đoàn này là đối thủ cạnh tranh của NASA, vì Elon Musk cũng có tham vọng chinh phục không gian và đang nỗ lực tài trợ cho dự án của riêng ông để đưa người lên Mặt Trăng, và xa hơn là lên Sao Hỏa, với mục tiêu rõ ràng là lập các khu định cư trên hành tinh này »

#10: SpaceX Crew Dragon Special

Launching a new age of human spaceflight in the United States, Elon Musk's SpaceX can officially consider itself the first-ever company to send humans into space on a commercial spacecraft.So without further ado, welcome. You're part of the new era of space travel. As a member of the human race, SpaceX's historic rocket launch could mean big things for you. After all, according to Elon Musk, “Human spaceflight was the reason SpaceX was created.”On Saturday, May 30 at 3:22 p.m., history was made when SpaceX successfully launched the Crew Dragon capsule carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley — the first two people to fly in a SpaceX vehicle. And just like that, a new era of American space travel took flight. In the same moment Elon Musk had been working toward for over a decade, the launch revolutionized the American space program, and made traveling to the stars seem just within reach. In a special episode of The Abstract, we recap SpaceX's historic mission of the first crewed spaceflight to take off from U.S. soil in nearly a decade.For many Americans, Doug Hurley's and Bob Behnken's success into orbit on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket changed everything. Revving up the United States' space program, #LaunchAmerica became the hashtag of the week at a time when we needed it the most.Marking the end of a nine-year period in which the U.S. had to rely on Russia to send astronauts to space, SpaceX's success proved America is back in business and headed for the stars. As 2020 continues to be a year that tests American resilience, perhaps Elon Musk puts it best: “This event is something that all of humanity can get excited about. It's just a fundamentally positive, good thing, and I think we need more good things in this world.”Read more at: inverse.com/the-abstractSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
