Michael Lopez-Alegria commanded the first privately funded crewed mission to visit the International Space Station in 2022 .

His Axiom Space Ax-1 flight suit went on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida on Nov. 21 .

The exhibit is part of the complex's " Discover Something Real " campaign, which highlights the past, present and future of space exploration and interplanetary travel.

"Commercial human spaceflight was not even on anybody's radar back in the heyday of the shuttle. And now it's a thing, and the shuttles are not," he said.
