Space X Dragon 5 launched

[senior chef]

Early this afternoon, Space X Dragon 5 successfully launched into orbit. It will dock with the international space station.
Today's historic launch has a Native American woman as mission commander.

Also historic because stage one successfully returned to earth and it landed on a drone ship. That means that Space X will be able to reuse a vital section of the rocket which dramatically reduces the cost of sending Dragon 5 into orbit.

For those who missed the launch, you can view the entire liftoff on Youtube.

Is that the one where a Ukraine astronaut was also delivered to the space station?

Not sure if he is Ukrainian but certainly a Russian cosmonaut.
