Can’t wait until our astronauts get to launch from America again on commercial crew vehicles. I’m sure the astronauts can’t wait either.
does putin fling the ship into orbit himself?
2nd comment space shuttles are better
poor guys have to go through press activities before they get to the fun stuff xD
Good luck boys! I look forward to seeing your launch 🙂
It has been a long time coming, Tim Peake First British ISS crew member! I have been quietly following him, and am starting a twitter account this week, so I will miss nothing… Good Luck to you all…
What happens to the back up crew? Do they get to fly on the next mission ?
大西さん?
From looking on the frontpicture for this video I thought this would be a Harry Potter parody…
The hardest and most boring part of being an astronaut, photo shoots.
