For the first time: A private company will launch two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station • Along with groundbreaking achievements, Space X's cargo spaceships have exploded in launch
The historic launch to space was postponed last Saturday: Astronauts were preparing for the launch, but due to inclement weather conditions, it was decided to postpone the launch of Space X, the company owned by entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk, which is responsible for launching the launch and spacecraft for the first two astronauts. The ultimate destination for astronauts is the International Space Station.
For the first time, a private company spacecraft will be launched with two NASA astronauts, Bob Bankan and Doug Hurley. The two will be launched into space on a Falcon 9 launch pad aboard a Dragon-type spacecraft - both developed by Space X of the developer and billionaire Elon MASC: President Trump has also reached the launch of Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The upcoming launch will also be the first time the US Space Agency will use a private company missile, and it will be the first time in history that anyone responsible for launching astronauts will not be a political but a business entity. At the same time, under normal circumstances, the historic launch might have attracted a large audience, as with any US space agency launch, but given the fact that in the United States, the Corona virus is raging, the current event will be without spectators to prevent mass infection.
