SpaceX to launch four civilians to orbit in mission known as Inspiration4 ⁠— 9/15/21

SpaceX is set to make history as Elon Musk’s space company prepares to launch four civilians to orbit. They will become the first full crew of non-professional astronauts to fly to space.

Known as Inspiration4, the mission is the creation of SpaceX and billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments. Isaacman purchased the multi-day flight from SpaceX for an undisclosed fee, with the goal of raising awareness and funding for St. Jude Children’s hospital. The mission is scheduled to liftoff Wednesday night, with a five-hour window that opens at 8:02 p.m. EDT.
