The UAE astronaut demonstrates how #NASA and the U.S. are transitioning to commercial spaceflight. Sultan Neyadi trained with Roscosmos, but his seat was purchased by U.S. company Axiom Space.
U.S. spaceflight is becoming more and more like commercial airlines. You purchase a ticket on a commercial flight.
Axiom is one of several U.S. companies working on commercial space habitats that will launch later this decade.
