SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster Arrives at KSC Visitor Complex, December 2, 2021 YouTube video by Space SPAN (Space Policy and News)

This was December 2, 2021, when #SpaceX delivered a flown #Falcon9 booster to #KSCVC.

I still shed a tear when it's parked alongside the only remaining Saturn IB. That was left over at the end of Apollo.

Improving Treatment for Osteoporosis - ISS National Lab Microgravity induces accelerated bone loss, making the ISS ideal for studying potential new osteoporosis therapeutics.

When I worked at #NASA #KSCVC, I was often asked what astronauts do on #ISS. Much of it is microgravity research.
This #CASIS article talks about a #UCLA team that used ISS to test osteoporosis, getting test results much faster than here on the ground.
