mclumber1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 This will be the manned test flight of the SpaceX Dragon 2 capsule - carrying two astronauts to the ISS. The last manned spaceflight from US soil was STS-135, the very last shuttle mission in 2011. America has been completely reliant on the Russians to get to/from the ISS since the retirement of the shuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
