Davenport is one of the country&#8217;s leading chroniclers of the space industry. His background and experience will add keen insight to the day&#8217;s event, as a co-host of the live broadcast. Davenport joined The Post in 2000 and was on a team that won a Peabody Award in 2010 for its work on veterans with traumatic brain injuries and has been on reporting teams that were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize three times. He is the author of two books, &#8220;The Space Barons: Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos&#8221; (2018) and &#8220;As You Were: To War and Back with the Black Hawk Battalion of the Virginia National Guard&#8221; (2009).

This successful test mission was a partnership between NASA and SpaceX, and the first U.S. crewed mission to orbit on a privately built spacecraft. Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley traveled to the ISS in the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, propelled by the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Discovery and Science Channel&#8217;s coverage drove record ratings &#8212; ranking as the #1 telecast for the entire day across major demos and the highest-rated telecast in the history of Science Channel. In August, Discovery and Science Channel went live once again to simulcast of the splashdown return of the SpaceX Crew Dragon, an event that also ranked as the no. 1 telecast for the day across key demos.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to watching the return on Discovery and Science Channel, viewers can stream it live by downloading the Discovery GO app. Fans can also create photos and videos of themselves in space wearing life-like SpaceX helmets using Discovery&#8217;s Space Filter on Facebook or Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Discovery on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter for the latest updates and join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #SpaceLaunchLive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovery and Science Channel announced today it will take viewers inside one of the most pivotal moments in space exploration.
