A trailblazing tourist trip to orbit has ended with a splashdown in the Atlantic. The all-amateur crew was the first to circle the world without a professional astronaut.
Four space tourists safely ended their trailblazing trip to orbit Saturday with a splashdown in the Atlantic off the Florida coast.
SpaceX’s fully automated Dragon capsule reached an unusually high altitude of 363 miles after Wednesday night’s liftoff. Surpassing the International Space Station by 100 miles, the passengers savored views of Earth through a big bubble-shaped window added to the top of the capsule. Healthcare worker Hayley Arceneaux was the first one out, flashing a big smile and thumbs-up. All appeared well and happy.
Joining him on the flight were Hayley Arceneaux, 29, a St. Jude physician assistant who was treated at the Memphis, Tenn., hospital nearly two decades ago for bone cancer, and contest winners Chris Sembroski, 42, a data engineer in Everett, Wash., and Sian Proctor, 51, a community college educator, scientist and artist from Tempe, Ariz.
