So, there’s this article about SpaceX’s Dragon cargo ship departing from the space station today. The thing that caught my attention was the fact that this spaceship is carrying some unique and interesting cargo. Apparently, among the shipments are some scientific samples that could unravel the mysteries of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
From what I understand, this is the second time that SpaceX has been successful with the Dragon cargo ship in resupplying the space station. The first time was back in May. The ship had been docked at the space station since August 29th and now it’s making its way back home. That’s pretty cool, right?
I’m not really an expert on space travel or anything, but I do know that this is a huge achievement for SpaceX. As groundbreaking as space travel already is, the fact that they’re transporting scientific samples from space to earth is pretty amazing. Who knows what we might discover from these samples?
Overall, I think it’s important that we acknowledge the strides that have been made in the field of space travel, as it contributes to our overall understanding of the universe. Also, space stuff is just plain cool.
