Doug Hurley says it was no big deal when he and fellow astronaut Bob Behnken were told that a documentary film crew would be shadowing their 2020 flight to the International Space Station.
After all, Hurley had piloted the final flight of the space shuttle Atlantis in 2011 with nonstop coverage of the end of the space shuttle program.
Now, he and Behnken were to be the first American astronauts to return to space from U.S. soil since then, so to Hurley, it was all part of the job as NASA and SpaceX neared success in their historic public-private partnership.
