On Wednesday night SpaceX launched its first private space flight from Kennedy Space Center with an all-amateur crew and no professional astronauts.
SpaceX launched its first private flight into space on Wednesday night, carrying an all-amateur crew of four Americans onto a three-day flight around the Earth’s orbit in a move that marks one of the most ambitious leaps into space tourism just two months after Virgin Atlantic and Blue Origin completed brief space skimming private flights....
Aside from the 38-year-old Isaacman, the flight features 29-year-old medical professional and bone cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux, 42-year-old data engineer Chris Sembroski and 51-year-old community college educator Dr. Sian Proctor. The passengers are flying aboard SpaceX’s Dragon capsule and they will be looking to spend three days orbiting the earth several times at an altitude of up to 360 miles.
