SpaceX's Crew Dragon "Endeavour," which splashed down from a demonstration mission to the space station in August 2020, launched again on Friday (April 23) with NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut (JAXA) Aki Hoshide. The Crew-2 mission flew from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 5:49 a.m. EDT (0949 GMT), boosted by the Falcon 9 first stage that lifted off with the Crew-1 mission in November.[/i]
