Current Event 4

SpaceX supply ship arrives at space station

A very sweet treat landed at the International Space Station on Sunday, straight from Cape Canaveral. The privately owned Dragon capsule delivered a ton of supplies including, food, clothes, fresh fruit and many scientific tools. At first, the launch struggled with a stuck valve or pressure line, and it took several hours to salvage the mission. In the end, the capsule attached itself to the orbiting lab smoothly and will remain at the ISS for most of March before returning with samples and old equipment.

This event took place at Cape Canaveral, Florida and the International Space Station.

This article relates to the intellectual PIE because we are getting more information from the ISS about space and tests and studies they conduct out there and we are sending our knowledge to them.

This article makes me think about how cool it would be to go to space and study how it affects the tests and studies. The government is already majorly involved with NASA and the space program.
