Space X had their second successful crewed launch last night with 4 astronauts on board.  Our Imposter in Chief of course tweeted that he should be given credit for the mission as he did last May when Endeavor brought 2 astronauts to the ISS.  It is well known that full credit for the commercial crew program at NASA belongs solely to the Bush and Obama administrations.  I would love to see the crew of the ISS reject a congratulatory call from trump but happily accept one from Biden  68,81,42,0,B

Behnken and Hurley

Successful launch today from SpaceX.  Falcon 9 rocket with Crew Dragon capsule carrying 2 American astronauts to the ISS.  This is the first launch of American astronauts from American soil with an American made rocket since the Shuttle program ended in 2011... and the first stage successfully landed to be reused.  83,91,65,0,B
