It’s not every day that an astronaut commands a new spacecraft on his first-ever spaceflight, but NASA’s Raja Chari showed he was the man for the job. Watch as Chari tells his own story of an Iowa childhood and Air Force career that led him to become an astronaut who led a multi-national crew on the third SpaceX Crew Dragon mission to the International Space Station. Chari and his crewmates launched Nov. 10, 2021 for a roughly six-month-long mission. _______________________________________ FOLLOW THE SPACE STATION!
