It's a big moment in space exploration history, but it's also a little awkward.
The first all-private crew landed on the International Space Station and took part in a welcoming ceremony earlier today.
Multiple astronauts aboard the International Space Station gathered to welcome the team of four as the live cam of the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule docked. Commander Michael Lopez-Alegr told his fellow crew and paying space tourism customers that they made history.
When you cross a boundary in the United States, you become an astronauts in altitude. Lopez-Alegr said during the live stream that these three gentlemen had never experienced that before. The Association of Space Explorers decided to commission a pin, and I have three of them.
The ceremony was smooth for the most part, but there was some tension between the Russian crew and the four SpaceX members, who we were previously unsure would even meet face-to-face given the ongoing atrocities Russia is committing in Ukraine.
A photo of a moment during the meeting when one of Russia's astronauts seemed to be staring off into space at the bottom of the frame was posted by Space News senior writer Jeff Foust. Several people on the board looked like space cadets.
So joyful, O ne used commented.
It might be like the old saying.
You can lead astronauts to the International Space Station, but you can't make them like each other.
Space tourists are bringing a brain-reading helmet to space.
