SpaceX capsule returns four civilians from orbit
NASA officials say, "the Crew Dragon is likely the safest crewed vehicle ever flown. And the vehicle had already completed two successful trips to space with professional astronauts on board before this group of space tourists took their multi-day joyride."


Four people arrived back on Earth from a three-day extraterrestrial excursion aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on Saturday evening, culminating the end of the first-ever flight to Earth's orbit flown by tourists.
NASA officials say, "the Crew Dragon is likely the safest crewed vehicle ever flown. And the vehicle had already completed two successful trips to space with professional astronauts on board before this group of space tourists took their multi-day joyride."
During their stay in space, the civilians on board said they'd conduct a bit of scientific research focused on how their bodies respond to being in space, take time to chat with their families, gaze out a large dome-shaped window called the "cupola," and listen to music.
SpaceX already has contracts for five other private missions, as well as at least four additional NASA-contracted missions.
