Today marks 14 days till SpaceX's Crew Dragon Resilience vehicle carrying the Inspiration4 astronauts lifts off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida!

To commemorate this milestone, these four images were released online today showing each crew member posing inside the cupola that will provide stunning views of Earth and the cosmos during their 3-day flight. The cupola was still at SpaceX Headquarters in Hawthorne, California, before it was shipped to KSC to be installed atop the Resilience capsule.

As of right now, there is no exact launch time given for Inspiration4 by SpaceX. But here's hoping the weather and flight hardware will cooperate on Wednesday, September 15, and that the four all-civilian astronauts will soar aboard a Falcon 9 rocket into low-Earth orbit on schedule. This will be a momentous day for human spaceflight if that's the case.

Happy Hump Day and 1st Day of September.
