CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The SpaceX taxi service from the Space Coast took flight again Wednesday with NASA’s Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station.
The four-person crew from NASA, Japan and Russia hitched a ride in the Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket that lifted off from KSC’s Launch Pad 39-A just after noon.
“That was a smooth ride,” said Crew-5 commander and NASA astronaut Nicole Mann. “You’ve got three rookies that are pretty happy to be floating in space right now and one veteran astronaut who’s pretty happy to be back as well.”
