SpaceX launches crew, astronaut to miss child's birth
Original: SpaceX launches crew to space station, including astronaut who'll miss birth of 3rd child during 6-month mission
SpaceX launched a crew to the International Space Station for a six-month mission, including an astronaut who will miss the birth of his third child while in orbit. The flight continues SpaceX's routine rotation of crews for NASA, with the personal sacrifice of the astronaut drawing attention to the demands placed on families during long-duration space missions.
Why now: The human-interest detail of an astronaut missing his child's birth alongside a routine crew launch is drawing sympathy and attention.
