The four astronauts boarded the spacecraft and quickly arrived at the International Space Station in eight hours, setting an American space speed record. They docked with the space station on Thursday. The launch was delayed for three weeks to fix a leak in the Dragon spacecraft's fuel system, after which SpaceX launched a crew led by Jessica Watkins for NASA. Heavy clouds may stop the countdown for a while throughout the morning, but eventually the weather improved and the spacecraft took off safely. Although they will be staying at the International Space Station for a long period of six months, this time they set a new record for the duration of their flight to the space station. It is not only the fastest record for Elon Musk's company, but also the fastest record for all US space agencies, including NASA. The favorable location of the space station at the time of launch made this quick rendezvous.
