Astronauts Discuss Upcoming SpaceX Crew Dragon Mission

The next crew to launch from U.S. soil to the International Space Station talk about their upcoming mission. 

NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, and Shannon Walker will launch with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket out of Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 31 at 2:40 a.m. EDT. The mission marks the first crew rotational flight of a U.S. commercial spacecraft to the space station.

I’ll be one of them in a few years ! For the moment i have a master’s degree in chemistry and I’m currently a fighter jet pilot.

I don't have a very smart question but I have followed NASA for a while been interested in everything they do .
What I want to say is I'm very proud I love you guys and good luck to all of you.

God Bless this American Launched Crew. Fair Winds and Clear skies ...

The goofy smiles when they announced the name cracked me up

[roybotic]

Loved this. Thanks to the crew, NASA, SpaceX for all they do and dream, as well as making this publicly available.

If launch does occur on Oct. 31, does the crew have any plans to present their arrival as a "trick or treat"-style "request to come aboard" the I.S.S.? 😁

[BlessedandAnnointed]

Way to go, all astrounats! We'll be praying for all of you! It's remarkable the job you do for our U.S!

[Willbow]

Good luck i was here watching crew dragon lift off and landing I will also watch the next launch

[jenniferreyes]

First comment, wish well for the crew. GO DRAGON!

October 31st. Launch date. The first num-autonomous, crewed spaceflight to launch from US soil since the final Space Shuttle mission.
It's been a while since the US have sent four astronauts at once, up to the ISS since the Soyuz has only three seats.
This will be awesome.
Go JAXA, go NASA and of course - go SpaceX !
What an incredible time to be alive.
