The private SpaceX company has launched two American astronauts on a historic trip to the International Space Station.

This is the first manned space flight launched from American soil in about nine years.
US President Donald Trump personally attended the launch a few kilometers away. And he said, "Nobody is doing this like us," considering that the achievements of the United States in space are "one of the most important things that we have done."

With this, SpaceX, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, became the first private company to send astronauts into space.
