"Wow, since the Atlantis spacecraft, we haven't tried going to space on an American rocket again."
Andreas Mogensen, a Danish astronaut, was the deputy commander among the nine people on this ISS launch mission, with American astronaut Stephen Bowen piloting the spacecraft.
16 hours ago, John delivered his inauguration speech, and now there were only 10 minutes left until Dream Chaser was to be launched.
Among the crew of nine for this mission were also two Russian astronauts. RKA actually didn't want them to come, but launching the Union Spaceship themselves would be too expensive, so they complied with economic forces.
Most of the launch mission was to be broadcast live, which was noteworthy as nine people aboard a spacecraft is the largest single crew since Firm Spacecraft, save for Atlantis Number.
However, the interior of Dream Chaser was not as spacious as Firm, and the spacing between seats was a bit tight.
