Axiom Space Announces First Private Crew to Launch to ISS Next Year

Curiously I still don't see Tom Cruise listed, but they have announced four crew members including one former NASA astronaut who will be commanding the mission. I've seen one other former shuttle astronaut around the cape who is now working for them, but he doesn't appear to be listed on this particular crew.

I ran into this former astronaut right before the crew one launch.

My guess is that their company has already been observing the procedures SpaceX has been using to launch NASA astronauts, as Axiom also gets ready to conduct private flights to the space station. I didn't say anything until now because I didn't want to leak it if it turned out that he was on the crew.

This is an important development because NASA does not want to be the sole customer for SpaceX's Crew Dragon vehicle. They want commercial partners to be buying rides as well in order to help defray the fixed costs of operating crewed spacecraft.

They are the ones paying to be launched into space. Look at it this way, the more they pay, the more burden is taken off the taxpayer. NASA does not want to be the only customer flying the crew dragon. They want to be one customer of many. Those rich white passengers are helping shoulder some of the fixed costs of running and maintaining the systems needed to launch the crew dragon vehicle.

Astro, I'm officially calling shotgun.

In my infantile mind, I'm picturing a bunch of nitwits floating around the ISS spinning knobs and puking all over the place, leaving a mess and playing rap. What are they going to do, kick you out?

They are going to be flown up there by a 72 year old pilot? I can see that working well.

The first red flag is that it costs money. Lots and lots of money. They are attempting to bring the current money system into space. Space is free, it cannot be monetized. Utilize your free "space" by projecting you're grateful it's free. The gift of your life was free all along. You have a right to life and happiness. Be the light.

The rich are helping pay the fixed costs of operating the crew dragon and therefore saving taxpayers money. You're welcome you ungrateful bastard. Glad you finally grew some balls to actually post while logged in.

 Quoting: Katipo2017


The entire flight can be performed automatically, human intervention is only needed if something goes wrong. That is the primary responsibility of the commander, the pilot is there as a backup and to help keep an eye on systems.
