Three businessmen and a former NASA astronaut safely returned to Earth after a groundbreaking two-week mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The SpaceX Dragon capsule, nicknamed "Dragon Endeavor," descended to the Atlantic Ocean with scorch marks from re-entry. This mission marks a milestone for commercial space travel and NASA's efforts to commercialize low Earth orbit. Axiom Space, in collaboration with SpaceX and NASA, facilitated the mission, distinguishing it from recent suborbital tourism flights. The crew, which included Larry Connor, Mark Pathy, Eytan Stibbe, and Michael Lopez-Alegria, spent a total of 17 days in orbit.
