    Astronaut Soichi Noguchi has now flown on 3 different spaceships. SpaceX's Crew Drago

    Astronaut Soichi Noguchi has now flown on 3 different spaceships. SpaceX's Crew Dragon is the best.


    The free market makes the superior spacecraft. I am not surprised.

    Soichi Noguchi knows his way around a spaceship — several, in fact.
    The 55-year-old Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut will have spent more than a year of his life in orbit by the time he and the three other SpaceX Crew-1 mission astronauts return to Earth in the spring. Noguchi has traveled to space three times: First on the US Space Shuttle in 2005, then the Russian Soyuz spaceship in 2009, and most recently on SpaceX's Crew Dragon. He's just the third person in history to have flown in three spacecraft.


    When asked this week which was his favorite, Noguchi didn't hesitate: "The Dragon is the best," he told reporters on a call Thursday, after he and his crewmates arrived on the International Space Station.


    "I feel Dragon is really ready to go up, it's really fun to ride, and two days in Dragon is really remarkable memories," Noguchi added.

    The first two individuals to fly in three different spacecraft were Wally Schirra (Mercury, Gemini and Apollo) and John W. Young (Gemini, Apollo and the Space Shuttle).
