The rocket was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Research Center in Florida. This is expected to pave the way for a new era of human spaceflight for the common people, rather than just government-sponsored astronauts.

Elon Musk's American aerospace company SpaceX created history by launching the Inspiration 4 mission into space on Wednesday night (according to India time) with the world's first all-civilian crew. The company has sent 4 common people into space for the first time at 5:32 am Indian time, these 4 tourists will remain in the orbit of the Earth at 575 km above for 3 days.

These passengers are traveling at an altitude of 357 miles (575 km) above the surface of the Earth. The rocket was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Research Center in Florida. This incident has become a cause of curiosity for people interested in space travel around the world. This mission is expected to usher in a new era of human spaceflight for the common people rather than just government-sponsored astronauts. In 2009, scientists went to an altitude of 541 km to repair the Hubble telescope.

selected crew

This is the first time since 2009 that a human being is at such a height. SpaceX's Dragon capsule separated from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket 12 minutes after liftoff, after which the aerospace company informed that the civilian crew had been successfully launched into orbit. The mission is funded by Jared Isaacman, a 38-year-old billionaire and philanthropist, who is the CEO of Shift4 Payments Inc. He is also the mission commander of spaceflight, who personally selected the rest of the crew through competition.

Cancer Survivor is also a member of the mission

The purpose of this mission is to raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in America. Isaacman, who is leading the mission, wants to raise $ 200 million through this, half of which he himself will give. An awareness campaign against cancer will also be run with the funds of the mission. A member of the mission is also a cancer survivor. This is the first team of non-professional astronauts to go into Earth's orbit.
