NASA astronauts on the ISS are relocating their Crew Dragon spacecraft to a different docking port to make sure that the forward facing docking port is open for next week's Boeing Starliner mission.

(I dive into why this is necessary in my video for this week, newsletter will go out Friday morning: https://www.adastraspace.com)

I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but this NASA article headline is:

"NASA purchases more Russian flights, maybe for the last time"

How hopeful. The article is dated 2014, we didn't have an operational crew vehicle until 2020.

Hi all! I'm still in a newsletter subscription push mode -- with the demise of the bird app, it's gotten really hard to get the word out about projects like this that don't have an internal algorithm to help people find it.

If you like #space, #science, #stem, or just want to support a woman of color doing STEM stuff -- please subscribe! Ad Astra is a weekly newsletter that tells you what's going on in space science and spaceflight.
