American Astronauts. American Spacecraft. American Soil.

On Wednesday May 27th, America is scheduled to return to space for the first time in nearly a decade.  Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft for an extended stay at the International Space Station.  And as usual, the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston will play a leading role.  As you might guess, it’s not easy to get into space.  And it is never 100% safe.  In this episode of Y’allitics, the two Jasons have an in-depth conversation with JSC Director Mark Geyer about the mission, acceptable risk and the hard work that got us ready to launch America.
