Have you picked the #crew yet?

We are in deep negotiations with both #private individuals 🧑‍🚀 and nation states. Especially with the Q1 2027 launch 🚀 date, in our desire to follow with the crew right after, this is now becoming pretty urgent. We believe we can compress training on #Dragon and #Haven1 to maybe as little as six months.
