It’s a big moment in space exploration history… but it’s also a little awkward.

SpaceX successfully landed the first all-private crew on the International Space Station as part of Axiom Space’s  Ax-1 mission and took part in a welcoming ceremony earlier today.

SpaceX’s live cam captured the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule docking as well as multiple astronauts aboard the ISS gathering to welcome the team of four. Commander Michael Lopez-Alegría, a retired NASA astronaut leading the mission as an Axiom employee, told his three fellow crew and paying space tourism customers they’d made history.

“There’s a tradition that when you cross a boundary — in the United States it’s 50 miles — you become an astronaut in altitude. That happened to these three gentleman for the first time yesterday,” Lopez-Alegría said during the live stream. “None of the other agencies have a symbol that people wear on civilian clothes for commemorating they’re astronauts. So the Association of Space Explorers decided to commission a pin, and I happen to have three of them.”

The ceremony was super smooth for the most part, but there did seem to be some tension between the Russian crew and the four SpaceX members , who we were previously unsure would even meet face-to-face given the ongoing atrocities Russia is committing in Ukraine.

Space News senior writer Jeff Foust tweeted a photo of a moment during the meeting , pictured below, when one of Russia’s astronauts seemed to be staring off into space at the bottom of the frame (pun intended). Several others on board looked equally like space cadets.

“So joyful,” o ne Twitter used commented sarcastically.

Maybe it’s like the old saying.

You can lead an astronaut to the ISS, but you can’t make them get along.
