Even astronauts have a feeling of humor, as shown during docking at the International Space Station (ISS) during the crew -10 of NASA, when they met a “foreigner” on Sunday morning.
Crew -9 Commander Nick Hague welcomed an alien mask welcoming four new people after his SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule, which was docked at the station at 12:04 am, about 29 hours after it was launched at 7:03 am on Friday. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
While members of the ISS crew were preparing capsules for deboarding, the Hague could be seen floating all around while wearing masks, a hood, pants and socks.
“NASA astronaut Anne McClen and Nicole Aires, Jacksa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takua Onici, and Roskosmos Cosmonot Kiril Peskov said at 1:35 AM Edt between Space Station and Spacex Dragon Spacecraft at the International Space Station.”

After the inauguration by Sun. Williams, the ship’s bell was closed because after swimming in the new arrival, the hands shook and hugged the campaign 72 crew after the practical joke of the Hague.
