Axiom sounds like the name for a personal hygiene product...

Upper case A...

Lower case a sounds like they’re trying too hard to impress.

I had the pleasure to watch this rocket launch from Sand Point Park in Titusville Florida just across the bay from the launch pads. It was my first trip to see a launch and probably not my last.

Russia launches Russians into space.

China launches Chinese into space.

U.S.A. launches anyone but true Americans into space.

The Orion capsule in which the crew is riding

Looks like a Crew Dragon ... Orion is the SLS crew spacecraft.

Jus' sayin'

And, to those carping about DIE:

You've correctly pointed out the real problem with DIE: it casts suspicion of incompetence on anybody other than White Men. That's grossly unjust to people other than White Men who are qualified and competent for the job.

Peggy is still flying? Guess the young ass-tro-naught corps isn’t progressing fast enough? But, if the launchers believe she’s the best for the job...............

Russia barely launches anything into space.

China is only slightly more active than Russia.

More than half of the world's space launches are AMERICAN!

Axiom
“a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true.”

I thought it was interesting that the Axiom is the name of the ship in the WALL-E Movie. Life imitating art I guess.

I give Elon Musk credit for this.

SpaceX saved NASA hinny. After the Space Shuttle, they were totally lost. Sending astronauts to the ISS via Russia?

I also give credit to Amazon’s Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic.

Competition is the way to advance most anything.
