Author	Topic: [Discuss] SpaceX Dragon Crew-6 mission
Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 48272 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 12-16-2021 03:16 PM Please use this topic to discuss SpaceX's Crew Dragon Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station. NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, together with a United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut and an international partner crew member, both still to be named, will fly the Crew-6 mission.

Given that Crew-6 should fly somewhere around April 2023 that will be a 12+ year span between flights. That's got to rank up there amongst longest intervals between flights for US astronauts. Does anyone know what the longest interval between flights is for US astronauts? Thank you!

Also hoping Jeremy Hansen gets a seat on Crew-6 or Crew-7.
