Shortly after the launch Wednesday, the commander Pega Witson revealed the name of their car: Grace.

“Grace is more than a name,” she said. “This reflects the elegance with which we are moving across space against the background of the Earth. It speaks of the clarification of our mission, the harmony of science and spirit, and the clumsy benefit we bear with humility.”

The name, she added, reminded: “The fact that the space flight is not only a feat of technology, but also an act of kindness – for the benefit of each person everywhere.”
