There are artifacts from the first heavier-than-air powered flying machine, the first spaceship to carry humans to the moon, and the first Israeli to fly in space.
Three private individuals and the first former NASA astronauts to revisit the space station on a 10-day, history-making and history-carrying flight are set to launch with the Axiom Mission-1 (Ax-1). The first mission to fly under NASA's directive to establish a low Earth economy capable of sustaining commercial outposts was lifted off by a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The crew includes an American, a Canadian, and an Israeli. Michael Lopez-Alegria is the first person to command both civil and commercial spaceflights, having spent more than 257 days on his first four missions.
The private mission to the space station is live.

Lopez-Alegria said during the pre-flight press conference that this is opening a new era in human spaceflight.
He said that he was so inspired by the early manned missions that NASA had put in the first three. It is an honor.
During their eight days on the space station, the crewmates will take part in a multi-discipline science program for the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, Canadian Space Agency, and Montreal Children.
As Ohio's newest astronaut and only the second private orbital mission pilot in the annals of human spaceflight,Connor is using part of his personal kit to honor his state's contributions to aviation and space history.
There are a number of astronauts from Ohio, but I do not think I am in their league. I want to represent Ohio in a small way, so I will be taking a piece of cloth from the Wrights, as well as three other items, and I live in Dayton, Ohio, the birthplace of Orville and the Wrights.
A political campaign button, an embroidered patch, and a piece of golden Kap are among the items that were borrowed from the museum.
We are very excited that our organization is included in this historic mission. This marks an exciting new chapter in space exploration and the museum will have personal items that directly relate to this impressive achievement.
Lopez-Alegria is bringing a flag to the space station on behalf of The Explorers Club.
Lopez-Alegria said that he was bringing an expedition flag from The Explorers Club. After the flag has flown in space, we will return to New York and deliver it.
Pathy, who is the 11th Canadian to fly into space, said that he doesn't have any cool historical stuff with him.
Pathy packed three of his kids favorite toys, some coins, and gifts for his wife and brother, instead of packing them. Some friends requested that he fly patches and small flags.
I don't think I will find any wine on the station and I don't think I need a glass to drink during the Passover seder, that's why he has personal items, including a glass symbolic of the wine he would normally drink during the Passover seder
Ramon died on the space shuttle Columbia in 2003 while he was the commander of the Israeli Air Force's 117 squadron.
Ramon started a thunderstorm observation experiment 19 years ago, and his personal notes from the ill-fated mission are flying in the air.
I will take a copy of the diary that survived the crash, a diary that Ilan wrote on the Columbia during his spaceflight, and some of the pages that survived.
A glass cube inscribed with a prayer and a 3D-printed model of the Peace are some of the other items that Stibbe has.
After the second world war, the Japanese donated the Peace Bell to the United Nations, and since then they have made several copies, and we installed one in Israel as well.
