The first fully private mission to the International Space Station blasted off from Florida Friday with a four-member crew from startup company Axiom Space.

The partnership has been hailed by NASA, which sees it as a key step in its goal to commercialize the region of space known as"Low Earth Orbit," leaving the agency to focus on more ambitious endeavors deeper into the cosmos.A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon capsule Endeavor launched at 11:17 am from the Kennedy Space Center.

Commanding the Axiom-1 mission is former NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, a dual citizen of the United States and Spain, who flew to space four times over his 20-year-career, and last visited the ISS in 2007.
