SpaceX flight led by first Black female commander sets US speed record

Vuelo de SpaceX dirigido por la primera comandante negra establece récord de velocidad en EE. UU.

A SpaceX flight commanded by the first Black female commander set a U.S. speed record as the company launched its 13th long-duration astronaut crew to the International Space Station. The mission expanded the station crew while NASA prepared to send its earlier Crew-12 team home. Onboard, Crew-13 collected a zero-g indicator nicknamed "Lucky," and the flight marked the first U.S. astronaut mission to embrace the number 13 since the Apollo era. NASA and SpaceX reported the launch and crew rotation as part of ongoing long-duration missions to the ISS, with Crew-12 preparing to depart and Crew-13 taking its place aboard the station.
