[Kiko Dontchev]

All,

Today is a big day. We're finally flying crew dragon for the first time. This is the project i have personally led over the past 2.5 years. I have the most amazing team in the world. 

Thank you to all of you for helping me get to today. I would not be here without you!

FYI... TESTING IS WEATHER DEPENDENT. We may have to hold for a bit for favorable winds

Best,
