FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “A new era for space travel? Space X makes history with first crewed mission” – below is their description.
We are turning our eye to the skies above us more specifically to 400 km above Planet Earth, where a 27-hour voyage to the International Space Station is due to come to an end soon. In this NASA’s first human space mission to be launched from US soil in nine years, four astronauts are heading out to the ISS to join two Russians and one American who flew out there last month from Kazakhstan. The mission is significant for a number of reasons: not least because it is a rare piece of exciting, uplifting news in what has been a difficult year for so many of us and also because it is the first of a series of taxi flights conducted for NASA by a private company namely SpaceX, which is owned by the Tesla-founder Elon Musk.
