NASA / SpaceX
NASA recently released this composite picture of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket—with a Crew Dragon capsule sitting atop it—adorned with the NASA 'worm' and 'meatball' logos on its side. This is actually a photo of the Demo-1 launch vehicle that embarked on an unmanned mission to the International Space Station (ISS) over a year ago...but the U.S. space agency wanted the public to see how SpaceX's workhorse rocket will appear when it sends a Crew Dragon spacecraft (with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley riding aboard it) to the ISS sometime next month. Pretty cool!
We’re bringing back the worm, but the @NASA meatball isn’t going anywhere. Check out how the @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will look when we launch @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug to the @Space_Station. More: https://t.co/5RewV8ayAb pic.twitter.com/aHObOVEmR8
