The launch of Crew Dragon on Saturday, March 2 had no crew on board. This was a test flight to the International Space Station (ISS), to prove that the vehicle worked. SpaceX hopes to launch its first humans to orbit on Crew Dragon this summer, astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. “Once Dragon is in regular operation, I think we will seek commercial customers,” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a press conference after the Crew Dragon launch. Texas-based Axiom space also has its eye on developing an orbital outpost, known as the Axiom Space Station.
