SpaceX stock shoots up 7.5% today following a busy 13-hour marathon yesterday. Beginning with Crew-13, a Falcon 9 delivered four new residents onboard the ISS: NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov.[1]
According to NASA, Crew-13 will spend the next couple days adjusting to weightlessness as Crew-12 transfers responsibilities to their new crewmates. Crew-12 will return home on Sunday, Oct. 4. [2]
