    Incredible training day @NASAKennedy! Got to test out our new flight suits in the real spacecraft. @SpaceX team has Endeavour and the Falcon 9 looking amazing. GO Crew-2! #nasa #spacex #esa #jaxa #crewdragon

      Before Crew-2's Endeavour launches, Crew-1's Resilience will be moved from the Harmony module's Forward port to the Zenith port (the port away from Earth). Endeavour will then dock at Harmony Forward, and a few days later Resilience returns home to make room at Zenith for Cargo Dragon CRS-22 in June.

      According to the wiki article, Resilience flies again on September 15 for the Inspiration 4 charity mission for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, this time with a large observation cupola attached. The views should be great.

                      About 1340 Eastern NASA alerted Crew-2 of possible debris impact and had them suit up in case of a collision. It ended up being further away than previously estimated so they un-suited and went to sleep.

                      Approach, docking, and a portrait of other Visiting Vehicles (Crew-1 above, Soyuz below). Had to do some color correction & processing on the docked image.
