This image of NASA’s Cape Canaveral launch site was captured by ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during his Horizons mission to the International Space Station. It was posted to social media 26 May 2020 with the caption: Soon there will be a streak of white emerging from this point, like a needle thread, stitching Earth to the sky. With two humans at the top, for the first time in a decade. Godspeed Chunky and Bob. GO SpaceX, Bob Behnken, Doug Hurley, NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration & International Space Station.
