10 years ago today! The Atlantis/STS-135 crew, including Doug Hurley, left a US flag on the Node 2, to be captured by an Astronaut flown on a US vehicle. The SpaceX Dragon Endeavour/DM-2 crew, including Doug, captured that flag nine years later! Flag's next stop: To the Moon! https://t.co/kqY7O6wau8
