I finally had time to get to the rest of my images from the Crew 8 launch. I would have loved to stay up all night after I got back to process a few, but I do have a full time job, so that takes me away from this fun stuff. At any rate, here are a few extra images from the launch of Crew 8 on their journey to the International Space Station to relieve Crew 7. They will spend approximately 6 months up there conducting various experiments, some of which will help prepare for future Artemis missions and our planned return to the Moon and eventual trip to Mars!

I do plan to follow these astronauts as they orbit the Earth for 6 months, so stay tuned for more images of their journey aboard the ISS.
