SpaceX Crew-13 sets record-fast ISS journey; first Black woman leads orbital mission

Four astronauts reached the ISS in 7h55m, the fastest American crewed journey to the station, aboard a SpaceX capsule. The mission, led by Jessica Watkins, marks the first time a Black woman commands a crew in Earth orbit. This is a routine operational milestone for commercial spaceflight, with no immediate market or geopolitical implications.
