"All-Private Crew" Axiom 1 Mission about to launch to ISS on SpaceX

< 10 minutes to launch

So is this Axiom or SpaceX? Or both? Are they the same company?

booster landed perfectly on the droneship

Dragon separated from the 2nd stage

Dragon is now on its way to the ISS

private crew will spend a week on the ISS at the cost of $1,000/day

How many manned flights has SpaceX done with Crew Dragon while Boeing is still trying to figure out how to send one of theirs to the ISS unmanned without getting lost?

I want to say SpaceX has sent 4 manned missions into space so far (including today's)... with another 1 scheduled for later this month if I heard correctly

A couple of comments responding to earlier responses:
- I'm fortunate and live adjacent to the space center - I watch all launches from one of my balconies - never gets old.
- Watching the boosters land is surreal - on clear days or nights, you can see it light up for initial burn to slow down when it is still at altitude. It is traveling much faster than it appears on video until a few seconds prior to landing. If I hustle out to the beach, I can see the boosters when they land at the center, ~8-9 minutes post-launch. On clear nights, when the boosters land on the offshore drone barges, you can see the booster most of the way down, until it disappears over the horizon.
- Boeing isn't the company they were prior to the M-D merger in the late 90s. Their Space division is a government welfare program.
- NASA is years late with Artemis. Although it is on the pad now for testing, they had a few problems the past few days. Now scheduled for June 6 launch, don't bet on it happening then - but I hope it does.
- Each of the first few Artemis launches will cost ~$4.1B, mostly due to having a bloated, mostly incompetent workforce. When Shuttle retired in 2011, ~6k contractors were laid off at KSC alone. No NASA employees lost their jobs and they have been sitting around for over 10 years with not much to do.

Having said all of that, I remain a big fan of the space industry - SpaceX is kicking everyone's arse - will be interesting to see if Blue Origin ever starts launching from KSC and providing real competition, along with a few smaller players such as Astra.

Love watching these videos...

Same, I try to catch any live SpaceX launch I can. It's very satisfying that that have so many great cameras and quality of this stuff.
