By degree Paul Borrow-Longain is an Astrophysicist and an enthusiast for manned and
unmanned space exploration. This morning started at 04:30h UTC to watch the SpaceX Falcon 9
launch from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida this morning, having set my alarm for 04:30h
UTC. The launch delivers Crew 6 to the International Space Station (ISS).

Two NASA astronauts, a United Arab Emirates astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut have been
assigned to the mission. The two NASA astronauts are Captain (USN) Stephen Bowen and Prof
Warren Hoburg. The cosmonaut, Major Andrey Fedyaev, was reassigned from Soyuz MS-23.
Sultan Al Neyadi will head the Emirates’ mission on the flight.

While the Dragon Capsule, Endeavour, continued on its journey, Stage One successfully landed
on the SpaceX vessel a few hundred miles off the Florida coast.
