4 civilians blast off from Kennedy Space Center in historic flight to space station

A new era in commercial space travel launched from Kennedy Space Center on Friday as the Axiom Space mission to send the first-ever all-civilian crew for a stay on the International Space Station lifted off from Launch Pad 39-A at 11:17 a.m. on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon.

I always hoped the space program would be further along at this time but it is good to see it making progress.

It won't ever go much more until they stop using rockets and coasting.

It won't ever go much more until they stop privatizing space exploration and outsourcing talent and technology to SpaceX and Virgin Galactic and whoever the fuck other billionaires are blood-sucking NASA dry.

On topic though: Awesome to see this blast-off!

NASA has managed to kill 12 astronauts. I'll go with the private option. They actually have something to lose. NASA hacks, don't.

How much did NASA pay towards this space flight?

Do all posters on here understand the concept of a pay wall?

Are they using wind turbines and solar panels to power their rockets? If not, they should be disbanded for contributing to global warming.

The cost of space flight is going down because of private industry. When has the Government ever made anything cheaper ?

The Falcon 9 rockets use liquid oxygen and rocket grade kerosene for fuel, so I guess the kerosene would cause global warming.

Private industry is the way for everyday people to get to space. Only the billionaires you seem to hate can afford to get to orbit if the Governments of the world control access.
