Happy birthday, Eytan Stibbe, 2nd Israeli in space


Eytan Stibbe, born January 12, 1958 in Haifa, Israel, is a space tourist and went into space as part of Axiom Space-1 mission aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon in April 2022. He purchased his ticket into space and demonstrated Israeli technologies during his mission.  He spent over 17 days in space before returning to Earth.

The first Israeli in space was Ilan Ramon who died when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during re-entry in 2003.
