    This has quietly been the 6th private Dragon flight. The Dragon program has been such a big win for NASA and spaceflight.

      Yeah, Dragon has been a resounding success, especially compared to… a certain other commercial crew capsule…

      Also, for those who want a reminder of the previous five private Dragon flights:

      • Inspiration4
      • Axiom-1
      • Axiom-2
      • Axiom-3
      • Polaris Dawn

        And there are at least a handful more scheduled:

        • Ax-4
        • ISS private mission 5
        • ISS private mission 6
        • Haven-1
        • Polaris-2 (?)

          If Isaacman becomes NASA admin, Polaris-2 will probably be cancelled. Hopefully Haven-1 will happen though.
