SpaceX makes history since it Is first Personal Business sending astronauts into orbitSpaceX创造了历史，它是第一个将宇航员送入轨道的私人企业
Elon Musk’s SpaceX made history on Saturday (May 30) after getting the first private organization to successfully send astronauts to orbit. The launch was significant too because it was NASA’s first human spaceflight leaving US land in almost a decade. Astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken are anticipated to reach the International Space Station following a 19-hour journey. They’ll then spend one to four weeks, before directing their capsule into a splashdown in the Atlantic. US President Donald Trump attended the liftoff, which was watched by almost 4,000 people in the Kennedy Space Center.
SpaceX and NASA tracked the weather not only at Kennedy Space Center, in which rain, heavy clouds, and the likelihood of lightning threatened another postponement but all of the way up the Eastern Seaboard and across the North Atlantic to Ireland. Ever since the shuttle has been retired from 2011, NASA has relied on Russian spaceships started from Kazakhstan to shoot US astronauts to and from the space station. NASA hired SpaceX and Boeing from 2014 to cab astronauts to and from the space station, under contracts totaled $7 billion. Both firms launched their team capsules annually with test dummies. SpaceX’s Dragon aced all its aims, while Boeing’s Starliner capsule ended up at the wrong orbit and has been nearly ruined due to software errors. Because of this, the very first Starliner flight taking astronauts is not expected until next year.
