History was made on May 30, 2020, when NASA and SpaceX successfully launched two American astronauts, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, to Space in a Dragon capsule named Endeavour.
This first manned mission from the American soil in almost forty years ends NASA's dependence on foreign launch providers to send their astronauts to the International Space Station.
On May 31, the Endeavour successfully docked on to the ISS. The two astronauts were cordially welcomed by the ISS crew. They will remain in the Space for 110 days before returning back to Earth.
The launch and the docking maneuver were transmitted live on social media and broadcast on television networks all over the world. At least ten million people watched this historical event.
