Soyuz is getting ready to send three more astronauts to the International Space Station. Being the only spacecraft currently capable of sending people into orbit, the launch and the ship are very important.

But Soyuz won't be alone for long, companies like SpaceX are working on getting their ships approved for manned flight.

SpaceX's Dragon has docked with the ISS recently in its first commercial mission. But it was only carrying supplies. SpaceX has several more of these missions planned.

But it's also working on making Dragon safe enough and comfortable enough for human occupation, with the hope of carrying astronauts to the ISS in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime, you can now take a peek at what the three astronauts currently aboard the ISS saw when they opened Dragon for the first time, in its current cargo transport configuration.

SpaceX has created a 360-degree panorama view of the craft, which you can navigate like you would in Street View. Granted, you can only look around, there's not much room to move in the Dragon capsule, either literally or virtually.
