On 31st May 2020,a history was created with the launch of SpaceX d2 mission to international space station. This launch was made by Falcon9 rocket. Spacecraft took off Saturday afternoon from the same space launch pad at Cape carnival, florida, that was used during the appolo mission to moon, half a century ago.
The two stage Falcon rocket with VETERAN NASA astronauts Robert behenken and Douglas hurley aboard, blasted off smoothly to start its 19 hour voyage to international space station.
NASA's dependence on Russia -
After spaceX has passed all the safety test which are necessary for space launch, America's dependence on Russia has come to end. In 2011 NASA has shut its space mission while carrying forward space exploration mission.
Since then it became dependent on ROSCOSMOS, Russian space agency to send its astronauts to international space station and now the time come for the world to witness a private company launch of human beings to the space.
History -
There are many private space companies in USA. Some are spaceX, Boeing, blue origin etc.
In this race to launch humans to international space station, there were two players, one is spaceX and the other one is Boeing. SpaceX has passed each trials timely, that's why spaceX launched its aircraft earlier than the Boeing.
Let me tell you one thing that Sunita Williams will go with Boeing, but they have to pass many test stages yet.
SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Elon musk with a goal of colonisation of Mars, its headquarter is situated in california state of USA.
First private launch -
With the launch of SpaceX Falcon9 rocket,an era has started of space exploration especially private space exploration.
