The beginning of new era of SpaceX

NASA astronauts entered the International Space Station on Sunday after a landmark journey on the first crewed US spacecraft in nearly a decade a triumph for SpaceX and private enterprises.

The hatch opened at 1:02 pm eastern time (1702GMT) Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley carried out final close out procedures, crossing the threshold about 20 minutes after Behnken entered first, followed by Hurley.

The mission marks the beginning of new era in which NASA will be purchasing transport  services from the commercial sector. No more will it own and operate the American vehicals that run to and from the station.

This will be done exclusively by forms such as SpaceX of Hawthorne, California which is led by tech billionaire Elon musk.

SpaceX has advanced human space travel yesterday. The launch was flawless, the return of jettisoned section was flawless and docking went smoothly and then Astronaut Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley have successfully disembarked the SpaceX crew Dragon Space capsule and entered the International Space Station.
