Imagine riding in a vehicle that has been tested zero times. I would be terrified. Best of luck to the team.

Have the vehicles not been tested? It seems a strange premise to make.

It’s kind of wild that I never heard about this. Space exploration really has dropped off the map news/media wise.

I watched a news piece about this and alot of people are calling for more testing before sending a crew up. Every mission has risks but there seems to be real concern about the vehicle's re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Blessings and good luck to the whole team.
