John Batchelor and I welcomed back Bill Harwood of CBS Space News to discuss the important upcoming (May 27) SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2 return to human spaceflight with two astronauts on board bound for the ISS.  Bill described the flight and the ISS mission, KSC pandemic lockdown rules and requirements for the launch, SpaceX preparations for the launch plus we talked about the very surprising resignation of NASA's Human Spaceflight Director Doug Loverro.  This was a one segment ten minute Hotel Mars segment.
