Whitson set to make comeback in space.

Peggy Whitson, the first female commander of a private space mission, will return to space next month aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule atop a Falcon 9 rocket. Whitson and three other astronauts will dock with the International Space Station for a 10-day mission, during which they plan to conduct more than 20 different experiments related to science, outreach, and commercial activities. Axiom plans to launch the first module of its commercial space station in 2025.
