Elon Musk’s company has sent two people into space to date: NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behanken, who flew to the International Space Station on May 30, aboard the Crew Dragon capsule mounted on the Falcon 9 rocket. The test aircraft, known as the Demo-2, marked the first commercial crew at the end of the space shuttle program in 2011 and the first Eve from American soil. But it was a test flight, aboard two astronauts, lasting just 64 days most of the time at zero-Gravity Spent at the International Space Station (ISS). On November 14, if all goes according to plan, the four astronauts will take a crew dragon to the ISS and stay on the space station for six months. This marks the beginning of an era of practical commercial space travel.
This mission, known as CREW-1, involved four of the seven members of Expedition 64, ISS. This 64th group of people is Expedition 64 for ISS to live and work for a long time.

The biggest question of CREW-2
Crew Dragon capsule completes a successful launch of astronauts Earth Around the circular path. But some concerns about equipment remain.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 The rocket – part of a fleet used for many years with good results – was stopped just seconds before launch on October 2 from the Vandenberg Air Force Base. The same type of rocket is designed to carry CREW-1’s Crew Dragon capsule into space.
Abandoned rocket, space message Announced, Was to pay for a GPS satellite. But a red “mask lacquer” used to protect engine components blocked a relief valve on the SpaceX Merlin engine used in the Falcon 9, making it dangerous to use.
Tests of other Merlin engines revealed similar problems, two of which were aimed at the CREW-1 engine, now intended for the late November 10 marine science satellite launch. SpaceX replaced those engines, as well as the GPS3 launch engines. GPS3 satellite Launched successfully on November 5th, Indicates that the replacement machines did their job.
Still, the CREW-1 will now be the second release after the Merlin engine issue. Saturday, November 14, at 14:49 pm (GMT November 15 at 12:49 am), and 8.5 pm after ISS.
NASA says it will take 27.5 hours to reach the crew dragon ISS if the weather is delayed until November 14th.
