TLDR

Routine but high-profile crew rotation with international partners demonstrates ongoing U.S. commercial crew capabilities. Supports ISS research contributing to Moon/Mars preparation and Earth-based benefits. Highlights sustained collaboration on space exploration amid geopolitical tensions.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Dragon spacecraft on top is seen at sunset on the launch pad. The sky is mostly covered with different kinds of clouds: thick, fluffy ones at the bottom and wider, more spread out ones in the rest of the sky. The Sun's light turns the bottom right portion of the sky orange.

NASANASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 Launches to International Space Station
@NASADestination: @Space_Station📍 NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 mission has successfully launched! The Dragon spacecraft carrying the crew is set to dock at about 7pm ET (2300 UTC) tonight, kicking off several months of scientific exploration. Watch with us here! https://go.nasa.gov/4xS9r7L
@WallStreetMavThe Falcon 9 rocket booster has a landing success rate of 99%. The last time one failed was over two years ago in August of 2024. Since then SpaceX has 339 successful rocket booster landings in a row. Elon said in 2015 that he would be happy with a 90% landing rate.
@SpaceXDragon remains on track for docking with the @Space_Station at ~7:00 p.m. ET. Falcon 9 launched Dragon and Crew-13 earlier today from pad 40 in Florida
@GuntherEaglemanAMERICA HAS HAD HUMANS LIVING IN SPACE EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE 2000, AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA. Veteran astronauts walked through how this works, and it's incredible. The docking port Crew 13 is connecting to wasn't even there originally, so astronauts had to go out on spacewalks and install it themselves. These men ran power cables and bolted hardware onto a station flying around the Earth at thousands of miles an hour. That's the kind of courage and skill that built this country, and it's still alive in the people NASA sends up. While the media obsesses over nonsense, real Americans are quietly doing the impossible over our heads. Give these heroes the credit they deserve 🇺🇸
@BoosterTribeStarship Flight 14 ✅ Transporter-18 with 130 payloads ✅ Crew-13 safely docked at ISS ✅ Falcon Heavy NROL-97 in 4 hours. What a week for the entire @SpaceX team!!!! 🚀🛰️🧑‍🚀🇺🇸
@MarcusHouseJust a casual day for SpaceX today! 🤣 No big deal right!? Total madness!
@TeslaconomicsNo one hustles harder than Elon... just look at this week, for just 1 of his companies SpaceX. 1/ On Monday, Starship reached orbit for the first time ever. It put 26 of the new Starlink V3 satellites up there, and they stayed. FYI, each V3 is 10x a normal Starlink, so 26 of them is what 10 Falcon 9 launches would put up. It was a historic, successful launch by all means. 2/ Today, Crew-13. Falcon 9 left Florida in the morning with Dragon and four people. They docked with the space station in 7 hours and 55 minutes... the fastest an American spacecraft has ever gotten there. 3/ A few hours later, Falcon 9 flew Transporter-18. This is a rideshare... smaller satellites from other companies sharing one rocket, instead of each of them paying for a whole launch. 130 payloads were on this flight. FYI, Google had a test satellite on board for running AI chips in space and the booster was on its 25th flight as well. 4/ And tonight Falcon Heavy is still on pad 39A for a classified flight for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the office that flies America's spy satellites. They've used Falcon 9 for this 22 times, but this is the first time they're using Falcon Heavy... 3 boosters strapped together, with 27 engines. If Falcon Heavy goes, that's THREE rockets today, on top of Starship on Monday for a total of FOUR rockets in just one week. And again, this is just SpaceX. I hope this guy gets some rest tonight... but he'll be right back at it tomorrow.
@Truthful_astThis is one of the greatest days in history for SpaceX and sadly no media attention will catch on When Falcon Heavy launches tonight, that will bring the total of SpaceX launches today to 3! that's the highest ever for an orbital class rocket!! These launches also shutdown stupid haters doubting that Starship will fly multiple times a day despite having easier reuse and higher production
@AlexanderPottsqLIVE: Crew-13 is on its way to the International Space Station! 🚀🌍 After launching this morning, the spacecraft is scheduled to dock at 7 PM ET. Another incredible milestone in human spaceflight. ✨ #Crew13 #SpaceStation #NASA
