I was one of 10 million people with the privilege of watching the NASA and SpaceX Joint Demo-2 Mission that took place on Saturday May 30,
2020.
The
joint
mission’s
objective was to launch, from the Kennedy Space Center, a SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket into earth orbit as a test flight of the rocket system’s launch
capability.
The
company’s

docking with the ISS.
This was an important space exploration milestone which accomplished validation that an American commercially developed rocket and spacecraft could successfully deliver people and payload into low earth orbit. This accomplishment is paving the way to ultimately assemble people and equipment into earth orbit on their way to a lunar orbiting Gateway Space Station. This is our new space exploration objective, to create a permanent operational base on the lunar surface in preparation for a Mars Mission.
