Bio
NS-19 launched on December 11, 2021 aboard New Shepard, with Strahan serving as Astronaut.
New Shepard launches vertically from West Texas, carries its autonomous crew above the atmosphere, and returns the capsule under parachutes while the lands separately under power. Michael Strahan therefore has 1 completed spaceflight; backup, training, canceled, and future assignments are excluded from that total. The mission connected Strahan's professional experience with direct work aboard a crewed spacecraft and a completed flight assignment. The flight converted that professional background into direct experience of launch, weightlessness, Earth viewing, , and recovery.
