TOPSHOT - A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with its Crew Dragon capsule leaves a firey contrail as it soars into clouds shortly after liftoff from LC-39A during Axiom Mission Three (Ax-3) at the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on January 18, 2024. An all-European crew including Turkey's first astronaut are poised to blast off to the International Space Station in a mission with Axiom Space, as countries hungry for a taste of space turn increasingly to the private sector.
