The Launch Readiness Review for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is complete and the mission has been given a ‘Go’ for launch. Liftoff is targeted for 1:45 a.m. EST Monday, February 27, from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida.
SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft Endeavour, powered by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, will carry NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren “Woody” Hoburg, UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev on a 25-hour trip to the space station. The crew will dock at approximately 2:38 a.m. EST on Tuesday, February 28, remaining onboard the microgravity laboratory for up to six months to conduct science and maintenance.
Starting at 10:15 p.m. on Sunday, February 26, tune in to a live launch broadcast on NASA TV or the agency’s website and follow along through countdown and other key mission milestones.
Mission Commander Stephen Bowen and Pilot Warren “Woody” Hoburg, both NASA astronauts, along with United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev will be on board the SpaceX Crew-6 launch. The crew members will serve as mission specialists for a science expedition mission to the International Space Station.
Is NASA still crying about the evil Russkies?

May God protect these astronauts in their launch, mission and recovery. May no snare of the fowler have a part in their life endangering mission. May they find only safe places and paths on they journey through fire and ice and return unharmed to your children on earth.

How many chick with dicks and fudge packers are we putting in to space today to play zero gravity leapfrog? What a joke.
Sorry but there is no pony under that pile of horse sh*t
Well said!
In Jesus’ name, amen.
I thought Russia was sending up an unmanned ship to 'Rescue' 3 current crew due to a LEAK on the Space Station?
That ship is filled with supplies. It’s my understanding that that their already-docked Soyuz has the leak, and THAT ship will undock and return to Earth.
The astronauts already there will stay for a while yet.
So glad these spacies are getting their jollies but what about the hardworking people who want to sleep at 1:45 AM?
I live 10 miles from the launch site. It rattles the house a bit but doesn’t wake us up during the night.
