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.

Or it means he can turn it into the Hubble servicing mission he wanted
