Spirits are high and they are ready to go," NASA's Dana Weigel, deputy ISS program manager, said during the conference.
"We will not fly until we're ready. We won't fly until the hardware is ready," said Reed. "We've done multiple reviews, and we'll continue to look at the data, the hardware and ensure that we're ready to fly these great folks and bring them home to their families when it's time."
