The Falcon 9 rocket (Falcon 9), funded by NASA and developed by Musk’s team, sent the Flying Dragon 2 spacecraft with two astronauts into space.
American astronauts boarded their own spacecraft again, and no longer lived under the manned aircraft.

In the past decade, only the Russian Soyuz spacecraft was the only vehicle capable of transporting humans to the International Space Station. In the entire human history, there are currently only three countries that can successfully launch manned rockets, the former Soviet Union, the United States, and China in chronological order.

The United States broke Russia's temporary monopoly and returned to manned aviation with its low cost and high performance advantages.

A few days ago, NASA issued a certificate to SpaceX, and the company became the only private company certified by NASA to perform manned space missions.

Today, SpaceX is performing its mission again and will send four astronauts to space.

The launch time is set at 7:27 pm Eastern Time, and the location is still the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
