Last year, I visited the Johnson Space Center and saw, among other things, the International Space Station mockup used for astronaut training. Since then, JSC has weathered Hurricane Harvey, welcomed a new class of astronauts, and made some changes to the technical sections. The safety procedures for the Orion craft are being tested in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, while the crewed capsule is still under construction at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
