- ilaksh 6y agoI think I heard they were going slow and it was actually like 19 hours.

Once in orbit, the crew and SpaceX mission control will verify the spacecraft is performing as intended by testing the environmental control system, the displays and control system and the maneuvering thrusters, among other things. In about 24 hours, Crew Dragon will be in position to rendezvous and dock with the space station.
- elliekelly 6y agoDo they have to stay seated & buckled the whole 19 hours? Dare I ask how they eat or go to the bathroom on the 19 hour trip?
- vermontdevil 6y agoCrew Dragon has a toilet.

- jpindar 6y agoNo, there's room for them to get "up" and take their suits off. Eating is no problem, the food is basically MREs. There is a toilet.
