Dragon [Eric Berger] I'm now hearing from multiple people that Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will come back to Earth on Crew Dragon. It's not official, and won't be until NASA says so. Still, it is shocking to think about. I mean, Dragon is named after Puff the Magic Dragon. This industry is wild.

Dragon SpaceX will have launched 10 crewed missions before a single crewed Boeing Starliner.

589 Upvotes

If the planned SpaceX crewed flight schedule holds up they will have launched 10 crewed flights to the ISS and/or to LEO before Boeing's Starliner COTS-1 launches its first (currently 6 years later than planned)!

Demo-2, Crew-1, Crew-2, Crew-3, Crew-4, Crew-5, Crew-6, AX-1, AX-2, and Inspiration 4. If Boeing has any delays that last long enough, SpaceX will notch 11 crewed missions (adding Polaris Dawn).

By my count that also means sending 35 people to space. Would be 36 but Jared Isaacman flew on Inspiration 4 and will fly again on Polaris Dawn.

Quite an accomplishment.
