NASA astronauts Victor Glover,
Shannon Walker,
and Mike Hopkins answered some of your questions during an Instagram Live,
ahead of their Oct.
31 launch to the @iss on the @SpaceX Crew-1 mission.
The crew mates,
alongside @jaxajp astronaut Soichi Noguchi,
are scheduled to launch aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft “Resilience”
that will dock them to the International Space Station for a six-month stay.
Once there,
they will perform space station upgrades,
conduct science experiments,
and continue preparing humanity for future missions to the Moon and eventually Mars.

It’s time to go to class with an astronaut!
Astronauts train all over the world,
including at @NASAJohnson.
Here,
they learn not just how to live aboard the @ISS,
but also how to conduct science in microgravity.
Come along with NASA Explorers as we head to astronaut science training.
