A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched the Axiom-4 mission to the International Space Station on June 25, 2025, after a two-week delay due to weather and technical issues. The mission includes the first astronauts from India, Hungary, and Poland, along with former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson. The crew will spend two weeks conducting over 60 experiments before returning to Earth. The launch, visible as a nebula-like ring in the night sky, highlights SpaceX's efforts to make spaceflight more accessible.
