So knowing one spacecraft really well, you can kind of propagate that knowledge on doing the next,&#8221; Gorbunov said in a separate individual interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For example, if you know all the ins and outs of the propulsion system of one vehicle, it would be easier for you to learn about the propulsion system on another vehicle. The same goes with all the other systems. For me, it was even easier because I started learning all that way before I became a cosmonaut.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/nasa-crew-9-ready-for-launch-spacex-falcon-9-failure\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even before NASA removed two astronauts from the SpaceX Crew-9 mission to the ISS, the crew knew that no spaceflight is guaranteed.
