SpaceX to the rescue. on its return, astronauts Stephanie Wilson and Zena Cardman were left behind on this mission, reports CNN
. Cardman was initially slated to be commander of the launch, which would have marked her first trip to space. Instead, the role was passed on to Hague, who had previously been named pilot for the Crew-9 mission:
“Handing the helm to (Hague) is both heartbreaking and an honor. Nick and Alex are truly an excellent team, and they will be ready to step up,” Cardman said in a post on the social platform X, formerly Twitter, after the announcement.
“I only wish (Wilson), Nick, Alex, and I could fly together, but we choose without hesitation to be part of something much larger than ourselves. Ad astra per aspera. Go Crew 9.”
