SpaceX, the company of Elon Musk, has sent to space a crew of NASA to the International Space Station.
Two Americans, a Russian and an Arab, all astronaut, are joined this six-month mission that will conduct experiments ranging from growing human cells in space to checking fuel materials in microgravity.
The crew is called “Dragon Crew” and it is formed by four astronauts; Stephen Bowen, a veteran of three space shuttle missions, and first pilot Warren «Woody» Hoburg.
As well as Sultan Alneyadi, who is the second astronaut from the United Arab Emirates traveling to space, and Russian cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
