It is noteworthy that two of the four astronauts from NASA, in addition to a Russian astronaut and another from the Emirates, were strapped into the capsule atop the Falcon rocket.

And when SpaceX announced that fuel would start to come out of the rocket, team leader Stephen Bowen replied, “We’ll just sit here waiting.” While it was expected that it would take regarding an hour.
