The first all-civilian crew. This opens the door to many more people to access low-earth orbit. The mission changes everything!

They trained for five months, did some work up there for three days, answered questions and came back safely! It really speaks to NASA and SpaceX chops for Commercial Space and Commercial Crew programs! Stunning accomplishment!

Congratulations!

Not only did they do some good work in space, they used the event to raise money for St. Jude’s Chilfren’s hospital.

This is much better that Branson’s fun ride that just goes up and down and flew nearly ten years too late. Way better than Bezos’ penis-ship, another mid-life crisis fun ride that just goes up and down but with the added benefit of looking like something out of Flesh Gordon.

This is the difference between someone with a vision and someone with a business plan.

Spacex is the real deal. Nt USALiberal Sep 2021 #1
