Previously all such missions were under Governments control. However, it is evolving over the years as the space industry is growing by leaps and bounds. It is the first step by SpaceX to launch a new mission for the people who are interested in visiting space.
A major goal of Axiom Space Ax-1 mission is to make space accessible for everyone. SpaceX is sending people safely to the safe and returning to the earth.

The company aims to work without the assistance of NASA and make the flying experience bigger and better.
It seems that the flights of civilians are going to become more common in the future. Axiom strives hard to create a fleet of various commercial space stations. They are arranging for three additional private crew missions, especially to the ISS. Ax-1 will gear up and get the best of everything at its first station. The company plans to make space easily accessible for all the common people too.
