Four people are set to return from a three-day extraterrestrial excursion aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule this evening
New York Four people are set to return from a three-day extraterrestrial excursion aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on Saturday evening, the final, and perhaps most dangerous, stretch of their mission. Their return will mark the end of the first-ever flight to Earth's orbit flown entirely by tourists or otherwise non-astronauts.
The four will make a nail-biting re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere aboard their SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule before it deploys parachutes and splashes down off the coast of Florida Saturday evening. The reentry process will involve the spacecraft — which has been traveling at more than 17,000 miles per hour for the past three days— diving back into the Earth's thick atmosphere, a process that heats the exterior of the vehicle up to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit.
— Inspiration4 September 17, 2021 There could be several reasons why the space tourists were publicity shy during their trip. It is possible, for example, that the crew wasn't feeling all that great after first reaching orbit.
