The newly arrived SpaceX crew that docked with the International Space Station Sunday morning was greeted by both human and foreign faces. Crew-9 commander Nick Hague donned a grey alien mask inside the ISS as his crew awaited the arrival of astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.
As other crew members helped prepare the capsule for deboarding, Hague was captured on the NASA live stream zooming around the space station in his mask and black hoodie, occasionally stopping and gesturing towards something out of the camera’s view.NASA Astronaut Nick Hague dons a grey alien mask aboard the International Space Station as the crew awaits for SpaceX Crew-10 to dock on March 16, 2025.SpaceX launched Crew Dragon 10 to the station from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday to relieve Crew-9 members from their duties aboard the orbiting observatory.
