Crew-8 will conduct new scientific research to prepare for human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit humanity on Earth. Experiments include using stem cells to create organoid models to study degenerative diseases, studying the effects of microgravity and UV radiation on plants at a cellular level, and testing whether wearing pressure cuffs on the legs could prevent fluid shifts and reduce health problems in astronauts. SpaceX Dragon and Roscosmos Progress cargo spacecraft will also launch during their stay.

Lightning is one of the most powerful and dangerous natural phenomena on Earth. A giant spark of static electricity, lightning serves as a type of “neutralizer” for electric charges in the atmosphere. Believe it or not, lightning can reach temperatures upwards of 50,000°F. The actual current of electricity is only a few centimeters wide. You may have heard the saying “lightning never strikes the same place twice”
