  Hey everybody, welcome back to the Elon Musk podcast this.
• 0:05
  Is a show where we discuss the critical crossroads, the shape.
• 0:08
  SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink.
• 0:13
  And I'm your host Will Walden if you want uninterrupted episodes
• 0:18
  of the Elon Musk podcast. Please go to.
• 0:20
  Clubelon.supercast.com to find out how there's a link in the
• 0:26
  show notes just. Recently the SpaceX Crew Dragon
• 0:28
  capsule after completing the Axiom Spaces Axiom 3 AX three
• 0:34
  longest private mission to the International Space Station
• 0:38
  splashdown in the Atlantic, marking a milestone in private
• 0:42
  space travel. Now the precincts landing and
• 0:44
  swift recovery operation off Daytona Beach of Florida
• 0:46
  highlights Spacex's capability in conducting complex space
• 0:50
  missions and safety and efficiency.
• 0:52
  And led by veteran astronaut Michael Lopez Alegria, the AX3
• 0:56
  missions crew conducted over 56 scientific experiments
• 1:00
  contributing to various scientific fields and showcase
• 1:03
  the Crew Dragons capability for extended long duration missions
• 1:07
  of the mission. Specific endeavors aim to
• 1:10
  advance our understanding of spaces effects on human
• 1:13
  Physiology and promote technological progress, and this
• 1:17
  is an important mission for the future of human spaceflight.
• 1:23
  Because we want to privatize spaceflight all together, we
• 1:27
  need to know that private space flights can last longer than
• 1:31
  about a week. So Axiom 3's AX 3 mission
• 1:35
  success shows that commercial space missions from AX in Space
• 1:39
  and also SpaceX, They're leading the charge towards establishing
• 1:43
  A sustainable human presence in low Earth orbit and eventually
• 1:48
  to the Moon and maybe someday to Mars.
• 1:52
  Now this mission exemplified the potential for private companies
• 1:55
  to fill the gap left by the ISS is eventual retirement, with
• 1:59
  Axiom Space planning its own space station to continue
• 2:02
  orbital research. And the return of the AX3 crew
• 2:05
  signifies the start of a new chapter in space exploration,
• 2:08
  where commercial missions play a critical role alongside
• 2:11
  traditional space agencies like NASA and ESA.
• 2:15
  Now, the crew Dragon's capability to return significant
• 2:18
  cargo from the ISS is also vital for continuous scientific
• 2:22
  research and the exchange of materials between Earth and low
• 2:26
  Earth orbit and beyond. Now SpaceX is consistent success
• 2:30
  with missions like AX3 lays the groundwork for future space
• 2:33
  exploration efforts, including upcoming missions to the ISS.
• 2:38
  Eventually, NASA may pay only private astronauts to go from
• 2:42
  Earth to the ISS and back to do all of their scientific
• 2:46
  experiments. They're basically leasing these
• 2:48
  people like an Uber, and the AX3's Mission International Crew
• 2:54
  reflects the global collaboration essential for the
• 2:57
  future of space exploration, highlighting the mission's
• 2:59
  contribution to global scientific efforts.
• 3:02
  Now, the science research conducted aboard the ISS during
• 3:05
  AX3 will also enhance our understanding of space's impact
• 3:09
  on human Physiology. This is crucial for long
• 3:13
  duration space flights. Now the data from AX3 will be
• 3:17
  invaluable for the scientific community, aiding in
• 3:19
  preparations for future exploration of the Moon, Mars
• 3:24
  and possibly even the outer solar system.
• 3:27
  An Axiom spaces ambitions for a private space station.
• 3:31
  It's going to be a huge ordeal now.
• 3:34
  The Axiom 3AX3 success show the potential for commercial
• 3:37
  entities to expand human activity into lower orbit and
• 3:41
  space. Now this partnership between
• 3:43
  Axiom Space and SpaceX also shows that SpaceX is reliable
• 3:50
  and they can launch private astronauts to the International
• 3:53
  Space Station for long duration Space Flight and they can be
• 3:57
  trusted to bring these astronauts back down to Earth
• 4:00
  safely off the coast of. Florida now.
• 4:04
  This is a private space mission. It's a maturing industry and has
• 4:09
  potential for making space more accessible and for contributing
• 4:13
  to science and exploratory advancements.
• 4:16
  Imagine, if you will, a private astronaut that wants to go to
• 4:19
  the moon. They don't have any way to get
• 4:22
  there unless they go through government channels right now.
• 4:25
  Eventually, SpaceX or some similar company would be able to
• 4:29
  send a private person, a private astronaut, to the surface of the
• 4:33
  moon if they have enough money and if they have the right
• 4:36
  training. Now they're collaborating
• 4:38
  between commercial entities, Axiom Space, SpaceX, but also
• 4:43
  governmental space entities like NASA.
• 4:46
  This is pushing the boundaries of space exploration and also
• 4:49
  the accessibility to anything in space for any person.
• 4:55
  And the successful completion of AX3 is a milestone at private
• 4:58
  Space Flight. These are collaborative efforts
• 5:01
  between SpaceX, NASA and these private astronauts.
• 5:05
  So going forward, we know that it's possible they have long
• 5:09
  duration space flights with private astronauts on a private
• 5:14
  rocket from US soil with a private capsule going to an
• 5:18
  International Space Station in space and then also flying back
• 5:24
  down to Earth with all of those entities.
