SpaceX opened February 13 with a dual milestone at Cape Canaveral, featuring a successful Crew-12 astronaut launch to the International Space Station (ISS) and the first Falcon 9 booster landing at the company’s newly designated Landing Zone 40 (LZ-40).
A SpaceX Falcon 9 lifted off at 5:15 a.m. Eastern from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, placing the Crew Dragon Freedom into orbit on the Crew-12 mission.
The spacecraft is carrying NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, as noted in a report from Space News.

The flight marked NASA’s continued shift of Dragon crew operations to SLC-40. Historically, astronaut missions launched from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. NASA is moving Falcon 9 crew and cargo launches at SLC-40 to reserve 39A for Falcon Heavy missions and future Starship flights.

Knock it off. Was he an American or an African?
What would you consider Elon Musk?
Don’t forget John Kerry’s African American wife.
Chap?
British African American...
Its my sincere belief that Elon Musk wishes to die and be biried on Mars.
I can see him wishing to be buried on Mars; but why would he wish to die?
Who would be insane enough to not, eventually?
The post seemed to suggest he’s wishing for imminent death, instead of simply that he wishes to be buried on Mars WHEN he dies,
Elon is the exact opposite of Tampon Tim Walz, we are in between.
