SpaceX Dragon breaks 2 space shuttle orbital records

SpaceX has shattered two orbital records previously held by Space Shuttle. The Dragon spacecraft has spent 168 days and 16 hours in space, surpassing the 156 days and 1 hour record set by Space Shuttle Endeavour in 2000. Besides, the Crew Dragon has now docked with the International Space Station (ISS) eight times in a row, which surpasses the previous record of six held by Space Shuttle Atlantis. The spacecraft delivered four astronauts to the ISS for NASA in November 2020. An exciting discovery emerged with these records, marking a significant milestone for SpaceX as they continue to revolutionize space travel. With the successful landing of the Falcon 9 rocket last week, SpaceX has shown that they are making remarkable progress towards their goal of commercial space travel. The remarkable feat is poised to inspire other space agencies to strive for improvement, shaping the future of space exploration.
