Did you hear a loud boom Tuesday night? It’s believed that loud noise was caused by a SpaceX capsule returning to Earth.
A private flight carrying two Saudi Arabia citizens and other passengers returned May 30 after a historic nine-day trip to the International Space Station.
The Saudi government covered the multimillion-dollar tab for its two citizens. A Knoxville, TN businessman, John Shoffner, who made his fortune in the international telecom business, paid his own way to the space station. The paying customers were joined by retired Nasa astronaut Peggy Whitson, who now works for the Houston company that chartered the flight, Axiom Space. Whitson also became the first woman to command a private spaceflight.
