SpaceX Crew NASA astronauts answer mission questions from the ISS

International Space Station Expedition holds a news conference with Commander Chris Cassidy and astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley of NASA from space.

THE SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule has successfully docked with the International Space Station after its historic launch.

Footage shows the astronauts docking at the ISS on Sunday.

Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, the two astronauts on board, gave a thumbs-up as they arrived at the station around 19 hours after its launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“Dragon arriving. Crew of Expedition 63 is honored to welcome Dragon and the commercial crew program to welcome aboard the International Space Station," Nasa astronaut Christopher Cassidy said.

"Bob and Doug, glad to have you as part of the crew. Welcome," Cassidy added.

Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are the two astronauts on board the historic capsule.

From Earth, Nasa officials then welcomed the astronauts.

“This is Houston. Bob and Doug, welcome to the International Space Station, after your spectacular rendezvous in docking the first Crew Dragon vehicle, for the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle, you’ve completed a historic ride to the ISS and have opened up a new chapter in human space exploration” a voice said to the astronauts.

Thanks so much for uploading. I had the opporunity to see a rocket launch in 2018. Memorable experience. I posted a pretty awesome video of the experience to my page.

The Soyuz spacecraft flew to the ISS in 3 hours, and the SpaceX Crew Dragon in 19 hours.

Why fly so fast? Firstly, it will make flights cheaper - there will be no need for the work of several dozen specialists who do not crawl out for days from the Flight Control Center. In addition, it will benefit the astronauts - getting used to weightlessness is much better to endure in the spacious compartments of the ISS than in a cramped spacecraft, but even this is not the main thing. The main thing is that this method of flying will be useful in the near future, when new orbital stations appear. And if now cosmonauts have nowhere to wait for help, then in the near future it will be possible to create an emergency rocket, requiring only refueling and calculation. And within a few hours, specialists can arrive at the orbital station to provide assistance.
