NASA, SpaceX Send Four Astronauts to ISS

Not even 24 hours after 4 astronauts touched down on Earth, the next group heading to space on the Spacex crew Dragon has launched!! Four astronauts were sent into outer space on the Falcon 9 Rocket yesterday marking the kick off of Spacex’s fifth crewed mission. The three NASA and one European astronauts onboard will spend six-months on the International Space Station and are expected to dock at the station tonight at 7:10. The mission is the fourth in partnership with NASA and Spacex to make routine trips to the ISS in order to keep the 21 year old space station staffed which is something NASA has wanted to have more control over since the space station program retired in 2011.
