SpaceX Docks First Commercial Spaceship To Transport Astronauts

Description

SpaceX has become the first company to build and dock a commercial spaceship intended to transport people to the International Space Station. Business Insider reports Elon Musk's rocket company launched the seven-seat vehicle, called Crew Dragon, on Saturday. Within a few hours, the 14,000-pound space capsule reached the space station that orbits Earth. NASA says the goal of the SpaceX program is to prove the new spaceship is safe to fly its astronauts.
