A Look Ahead: SpaceX to Send Humans to Stay Longer in Space
SpaceX is making history today with their latest launch of a crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission will be the first of many for SpaceX, with the goal of sending humans to stay in space for longer periods of time.
The mission will be commanded by NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, along with Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide. They will be the first astronauts to stay aboard the ISS for a full 6 months, instead of the usual 4 or 5 months. This longer stay will allow astronauts to study the effects of long-term space travel on the human body and to conduct more in-depth experiments.
SpaceX has made great strides in space exploration, and this mission marks another exciting step towards the future of space travel. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
