The Axiom Ax-1, the first fully commercial spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS), took off on Friday with the first all-private astronaut team to ever fly to the orbiting outpost.
Axiom’s four-man team lifted from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, riding atop a Falcon 9 rocket furnished and flown by Elon Musk’s commercial space launch venture SpaceX.
The quartet is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. He’ll be joined by three paying customers: Larry Connor, a real estate and technology entrepreneur and aerobatics aviator from Ohio, who has been designated mission pilot. Investor-philanthropist and former Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe, and Canadian businessman and philanthropist Mark Pathy, round out the crew and will both serve as mission specialists.
The launch is being hailed by NASA, Axiom Space – the company behind the launch, and other industry players as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space ventures collectively referred to by insiders as the low-Earth orbit economy.

And if someone needs to take a whizz – too late, too bad. You'll have to hold it 'til you get back.
Eye Love it !
I couldn't do it. I'm too claustrophobic. A friend of mine dives in deep sea sub suits for a living. I don't know how he does it.

Its like semprong light
Can’t wait to tell my Alien 👽 friends about this
brillant!
For something as historic as this I feel like person who is the commentator isn't taking this seriously enough. not to mention all the mistakes in sequences.
I keep my comment respectful. I am selling tickets to the hell.
This is pretty impressive, but All l can think of at the moment is the bombs& missiles being launched by Russia on poor Ukraine.
Hope all is successful for you,
From the UK
Obama in 2011 cancelled our Human Flight capability into space by the USA, and allowed NASA to make agreements with Russia worth 100's of millions to fly our people up to the ISS, shameful…also in 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine, took over the area of Crimean – all under Obama and VP Joe Biden – seems that good old Democrats are always helping out Russia yet try to claim Russia Russia Russia as a Republican issue, such as when Trump was President, it was great to see while Trump was President the US launched from our soil Humans, again, US Space X flight on May 20 – 2020….Now Russia back in Ukraine trying to take the whole country all under Biden….crazy, hope he does not cancel the US Space Program and put Hunter in charge…
Great work Space X / Elon on continued success with NASA, and our USA Space Program – keep rolling….hope Biden does support you…..supports Flacon 9 and Dragon that work, and the new Starship, leaps ahead of Government Owned SLS which has been delayed . delayed…good thing we are not relying on this to get Humans to SLS or higher / farther….NASA focus, put your money towards proven tech – Space X…..
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
They're all laughing at the dumb masses.
I am selling tickets to the moon.
And I get the finger pointed at me for driving my car, and eating beef in my country because I'm impacting climate change in my country. What a joke.

Same clowns are telling the working class to stop using gasoline powered vehicles 🤡

The western backed government in Afghanistan not only allowed bacha bazi to continue, they participated in it as well; and the west did absolutely nothing about it…
