Photo of the Day: The Crew-2 Astronauts Are Ready to Soar to the International Space Station...

Just thought I'd share this image, which was posted on Twitter four days ago, of the Crew-2 astronauts posing in front of their Falcon 9 vehicle atop Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Crew-2—which consists of NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Akihiko Hoshide—is set to blast off aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon Endeavour (which last flew on the Demo-2 flight almost a year ago) to the International Space Station tomorrow morning. Launch is currently set for 5:49 AM, Eastern Daylight Time (2:49 AM, Pacific Daylight Time) on April 23. Godspeed!
