We have a string of critical missions coming up.” Upcoming launches include “not only crewed flights from the Space Coast, but [also] a replacement Soyuz capsule to be sent up from Russia to the station for one damaged by micrometeorites and resupply missions from SpaceX, Northrop Grumman and Russia in the next four months.”
