The spacecraft launches atop a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket and returns to Earth via an ocean splashdown. The spacecraft can dock itself to the International Space Station (ISS) instead of being berthed.  

It has two versions; Crew Dragon, a human-rated capsule capable of carrying up to seven astronauts, and Cargo Dragon, an updated replacement for the original Dragon spacecraft.

Rachael Finch

Rachael Finch (born July 8, 1988) is an Australian television host, model and beauty pageant titleholder. She finished 4th in Miss Universe 2009 pageant.

Marriage and Children 
Rachael married her former Dancing with the Stars partner Michael Miziner on 3 January 2013. Finch gave birth to her daughter, Violet Rachael Miziner, in September 2013. She gave birth to her second child, Dominic Michael Miziner in March 2017.

Instagram Activity 
Rachael is active on Instagram, where she has over 290,000 followers. It was there that she posted her controversial lunchbox post.

Lunchbox Controversy 

In late February 2020, Rachael faced severe backlash after she posted the image of the lunchbox of her schoolgoing daughter, Violet. Critics stated that she did not feed Violet enough, but Rachael proved them wrong, stating, “My number one priority is to ensure that my kids are happy and healthy - so I give them real food, I give them whole pieces of fruit, and I give them vegetables in their lunch box. So Violet will go to school with sushi and a Greek salad, for example...If a mother wants to feed her child cherry tomatoes over cheezels (sic) then she can. It’s not deprivation or a screwed up childhood... it’s because she cares, and perhaps she has learnt from experience.”

Television

Rachael works for the Seven Network as a reporter for several of its programs across current affairs and sports telecasts as well as making contestant appearances on Seven Network's in-house celebrity competition programs. She was one of the contestants in Celebrity MasterChef Australia in 2009. She progressed to the semi-finals, where she and Biggest Loser trainer Michelle Bridges made it through to the next stage. Rachael reached the grand-finals in which she came third overall. She also appeared in the 2010 series of Dancing with the Stars. She was eliminated on 1 August 2010.

Dancing with the Stars performances 
In late 2010, Rachael Finch joined the cast of the tenth season of Dancing with the Stars. Finch's partner is Michael Miziner, the partner to the original winner of Dancing with the Stars, Bec Cartwright. Despite receiving some harsh comments from judge Todd McKenney over lack of content with their choreography, Finch and Miziner had been named the dark horse couple by the judges. Most unfortunately, and despite maintaining high scores, Finch and Miziner were the fifth couple eliminated on 1 August 2010.

2010-present: After Dancing with the Stars 
Rachael now does a daily weather report on Channel 7's morning show, Sunrise.

Lyrics

Teirake kaini Kiribati,
Anene ma te kakatonga,
Tauraoi nakon te mwioko,

Bon reken te nano ae banin
Ma te i-tangitangiri naba.
Ma ni wakina te kab'aia,

English version
Stand up, People of Kiribati! 
Sing with jubilation!
Prepare to accept responsibility
And to help each other! 
𝄆 Be steadfastly righteous!
Love all our people! 𝄇

The attainment of contentment
And peace by our people
Will be achieved when all
Our hearts beat as one,
𝄆 Love one another!
Promote happiness and unity! 𝄇

We beseech You, O God,
To protect and lead us
In the days to come.
Help us with Your loving hand.

God Bless Fiji

"Meda Dau Doka", also known as "God Bless Fiji" in English, is the the national anthem of Fiji. It adopted in 1970 when the country got its independence from the United Kingdom.

Earlier, in 1911, American gospel writer Charles Austin Miles composed the music for the Christian hymn Dwelling in Beulah Land – the same melody that is being used for this song today.

The lyrics (words) were written by Michael Francis Alexander Prescott. The Fijian version and the English version are not translations of each other, and the English version is used much more commonly.

In 2008, it was suggested that this anthem should be sung in Fijian, English and Fiji Hindi – the country's official languages – all in one piece.

Lyrics

Fijian version

English version
This version is much more popular.
Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji
As we stand united under noble banner blue
And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever
Onward march together
God bless Fiji

Chorus:
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride
For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hails far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befalls
May God bless Fiji
Forever more!

Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song
Stand united, we of Fiji, fame and glory ever
Onward march together
God bless Fiji.

Fiji Hindi version
He jagdishwar, kripa karo tum Fiji desh pe apne
Ahle watan hum teri sharan mein, teri dhwaja ke neehe
Ajaadi ki raksha aur samman sada hum karege
Sab milke badhte rahege
Sarwamangal Fiji

Yeh Fiji, hamara Fiji 
Hum sab mil gaate rahe
Yeh Fiji Hamara Fiji 
Yeh naara lagate rahe 
Dharti hai apni, azaadi, asha aur garva ki 
Kripa rahe prabhu ki, Fiji par sarwada
