As the Crew Dragon commander entered the space station through a hatch to join fellow American Chris Cassidy and Russian flight engineers Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner aboard the research laboratory, he bumped his head on the opening.
It’s unclear whether the painful-looking smack resulted in an actual cut, but Hurley was seen dabbing his forehead with a tissue several times throughout the live-stream welcome ceremony. However, neither NASA nor SpaceX have commented on the 53-year-old’s turbulent entrance, leaving us to assume that it wasn’t anything serious.
