Elon Musk is many things. He blabbers off on Twitter, he slave drives his employees, but there is no doubting his genius and intensity in making things happen. And boy did things happen. On 30 May, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launched 2 astronauts into space for the first time since the end of the space program in 2011. This successful launch has re-ignited the imaginations of everyone, and suddenly (not so sudden for Elon), we’re talking about colonising Mars by 2050, and in fact, starting to terraform Mars as early as 2025?!

Here’s the crew entering into the ISS, for the first time in history from a commercially made spacecraft.

This is the first time in human history @NASA_Astronauts have entered the @Space_Station from a commercially-made spacecraft. @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug have finally arrived to the orbiting laboratory in @SpaceX's Dragon Endeavour spacecraft. pic.twitter.com/3t9Ogtpik4
