Astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary blast off on a privately funded trip to the space station

India, Poland and Hungary are back in human space flight. SpaceX launched the first astronauts from countries in over 40 years on Wednesday, sending them to an chartered flight to the international space station. Launched from the Florida Kennedy Space Center, astronauts should arrive at the space station the next morning. India, Poland and Hungary shared the tab for the two -week mission. Axiom Space, the company Houston which organized the agreement, puts the price of the ticket to more than $ 65 million per customer. Peggy Whitson, the most experienced astronaut in America who is now working for Axiom, is the commander. Once in orbit, astronauts have struck messages in their mother tongue and revealed the name they have given to their brand new capsule: Grace.
