Incredible week getting to see both our Dragon Spacecraft 🐉 (named Resilience!) and the entire SpaceX team supporting the mission! Clearly it takes a village to make human spaceflight happen, congratulations to the entire team for getting to this milestone!

Super excited to be flying research experiments from my alma mater CU Boulder 🦬 - the PI on this eye experiment was one of my bioastronautics professors! Sko Buffs! 🦬 💛

It’s dry-dress day! We’ll be walking through a full simulation of launch day, everything before loading fuel on the rocket. Can’t wait to be reunited with Resilience! 🐉🚀

Dry-dress complete, Dragon Resilience looks beautiful inside! The new car smell was successfully removed by the SpaceX materials team during thermal vacuum chamber bake-out.

Great summary of where we’re at, weather is going to be a challenge given launch and return requirements. Scrubbing for the next few launch opportunities, but ready to go once a weather window opens!

She sure looks beautiful on the pad 🐉 Awesome time flying with the crew, keeping skills sharp while we wait for weather to clear!
