A three-man space group completed arrangements on Wednesday for a strategic the International Space Station, which is proceeding regardless of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yet, with writers and family members unfit to venture out to Baikonur because of limitations identified with COVID-19, the conventional goodbye question and answer session communicate by Roscosmos had a progressively removed and dismal feel.

"Rather than talking just to certain cameras we would talk a few people at this moment," said Cassidy, who is preparing for his third spell in space.
