This mission not only opened new horizons but also broke records, they traveled further from earth than any human being since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 reaching an incredible altitude of 1408 km, to put it in perspective the last time a crew arrived So high was it on the Gemini 11 mission in 1966 and that's not all. This team of civilian astronauts also performed the challenging and exciting mission of carrying out the first commercial spacewalk in history.
Sarah Gilis, who in addition to being a scientist is a talented violinist, took her violin to space, played the Race theme motif from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and her performance was transmitted directly to Earth through the Starlink system as part of a test, Upon returning to Earth, the Dragon Resilience capsule faced temperatures of up to 1900 degrees Celsius upon re-entering the atmosphere, a true test for any spacecraft, but as expected, the landing was perfect and the crew was quickly rescued by buses that were already waiting for them nearby. .
