Support teams work around a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft shortly after it landed with NASA Astronaut and U.S. Space Force Col. Nick Hague off the coast of Tallahassee, Fla., Mar. 18, 2025. Hague’s flight marked a significant moment in the history of the Space Force, as he became the first active-duty Guardian to fly to space and one of the first humans to launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla. Hague logged 72,553,920 miles during his mission, spent 171 days in space and completed 2,736 orbits around Earth. (U.S. Air Force photo courtesy of NASA by Keegan Barber)
