Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Kimiya Yui, and Oleg Platonov are going. They were all chosen for different missions before. Mike Fincke said hello to the space station after docking.
Cardman was moved from another SpaceX flight. This made space for two NASA pilots on Boeing Starliner. Fincke and Yui were preparing for a Starliner trip, but switched to SpaceX.
