Time magazine has put the ticket price for all four seats at US$200 million (S$268 million).\nThe mission, called Inspiration4, was conceived by Isaacman mainly to raise awareness and support for one of his favorite causes, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a leading pediatric cancer center in Memphis, Tennessee.\nInspiration4 is aiming for an orbital altitude of 360 miles (575 km) above Earth, higher than the International Space Station or Hubble Space Telescope. At that height, the Crew Dragon will circle the globe once every 90 minutes at a speed of some 27,360 kph, or roughly 22 times the speed of sound.\nRival companies Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin inaugurated their own private-astronaut services this summer, with their respective founding executives, billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, each going along for the ride.\nThose suborbital flights, lasting a matter of minutes, were short hops compared with Inspiration4's spaceflight profile.\nSpaceX already ranks as the most well-established player in the burgeoning constellation of commercial rocket ventures, having launched numerous cargo payloads and astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. Two of its Dragon capsules are docked there already.\nThe Inspiration4 crew will have no part to play in flying the spacecraft, which will be operated by ground-based flight teams and onboard guidance systems, even though two crew members are licensed pilots.\n\nA SpaceX Falcon 9 with the Crew Dragon capsule is seen before launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sept 15, 2021. PHOTO: REUTERS\nIsaacman, who is rated to fly commercial and military jets, has assumed the role of mission \"commander,\" while Proctor, a geoscientist and former NASA astronaut candidate, has been designated as the mission \"pilot.\" Rounding out the crew are \"chief medical officer\" Arceneaux, a bone cancer survivor turned St. Jude physician assistant, and mission \"specialist\" Sembroski, a US Air Force veteran and aerospace data engineer.\nThe four crewmates have spent five months in rigorous preparations, including altitude fitness, centrifuge (G-force), microgravity and simulator training, emergency drills, classroom work and medical exams.\nInspiration4 officials have said the mission is more than a joyride.\nOnce in orbit, the crew will perform a series of medical experiments with \"potential applications for human health on Earth and during future spaceflights,\" the group said in media materials.\nBiomedical data and biological samples, including ultrasound scans, will also be collected from crew members before, during and after the flight.\n\"The crew of Inspiration4 is eager to use our mission to help make a better future for those who will launch in the years and decades to come,\" Isaacman said in a statement.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":885633890,"gmtCreate":1631783219910,"gmtModify":1676530634683,"author":{"id":"3576032388698164","authorId":"3576032388698164","name":"Begainer","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82d7029c688f2a6f05ba953d0cbab266","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3576032388698164","authorIdStr":"3576032388698164"},"htmlText":"SpaceX goes to space this morning, Tesla goes to the moon tonight","listText":"SpaceX goes to space this morning, Tesla goes to the moon tonight","text":"SpaceX goes to space this morning, Tesla goes to the moon tonight","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/885633890","repostId":2167185235,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2167185235","pubTimestamp":1631752106,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2167185235?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-16 08:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"First all-civilian crew bound for orbit launches aboard SpaceX rocket ship","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2167185235","media":"The Straits Times","summary":"CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA (REUTERS) - A SpaceX rocket ship blasted off from Florida on Wednesday (Sept","content":"<div>\n<p>CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA (REUTERS) - A SpaceX rocket ship blasted off from Florida on Wednesday (Sept 15) carrying a billionaire e-commerce executive and three less-wealthy private citizens he chose to...</p>\n\n<a href=\"http://www.straitstimes.com/world/united-states/spacex-go-for-launch-of-first-all-civilian-crew-bound-for-orbit\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"straits_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Time magazine has put the ticket price for all four seats at US$200 million (S$268 million).\nThe mission, called Inspiration4, was conceived by Isaacman mainly to raise awareness and support for one of his favorite causes, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a leading pediatric cancer center in Memphis, Tennessee.\nInspiration4 is aiming for an orbital altitude of 360 miles (575 km) above Earth, higher than the International Space Station or Hubble Space Telescope. At that height, the Crew Dragon will circle the globe once every 90 minutes at a speed of some 27,360 kph, or roughly 22 times the speed of sound.\nRival companies Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin inaugurated their own private-astronaut services this summer, with their respective founding executives, billionaires Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, each going along for the ride.\nThose suborbital flights, lasting a matter of minutes, were short hops compared with Inspiration4's spaceflight profile.\nSpaceX already ranks as the most well-established player in the burgeoning constellation of commercial rocket ventures, having launched numerous cargo payloads and astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. Two of its Dragon capsules are docked there already.\nThe Inspiration4 crew will have no part to play in flying the spacecraft, which will be operated by ground-based flight teams and onboard guidance systems, even though two crew members are licensed pilots.\n\nA SpaceX Falcon 9 with the Crew Dragon capsule is seen before launch at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sept 15, 2021. PHOTO: REUTERS\nIsaacman, who is rated to fly commercial and military jets, has assumed the role of mission \"commander,\" while Proctor, a geoscientist and former NASA astronaut candidate, has been designated as the mission \"pilot.\" Rounding out the crew are \"chief medical officer\" Arceneaux, a bone cancer survivor turned St. Jude physician assistant, and mission \"specialist\" Sembroski, a US Air Force veteran and aerospace data engineer.\nThe four crewmates have spent five months in rigorous preparations, including altitude fitness, centrifuge (G-force), microgravity and simulator training, emergency drills, classroom work and medical exams.\nInspiration4 officials have said the mission is more than a joyride.\nOnce in orbit, the crew will perform a series of medical experiments with \"potential applications for human health on Earth and during future spaceflights,\" the group said in media materials.\nBiomedical data and biological samples, including ultrasound scans, will also be collected from crew members before, during and after the flight.\n\"The crew of Inspiration4 is eager to use our mission to help make a better future for those who will launch in the years and decades to come,\" Isaacman said in a statement.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5887919,"gmtCreate":1631772771095,"gmtModify":1663233963141,"authorId":3577406038476249,"author":{"id":3577406038476249,"idStr":"3577406038476249","authorId":3577406038476249,"name":"Tansri","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/281e15019b751acf6992d8219736b9dd","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":885158102,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"SpaceX is not publicly traded company and Tesla has No stake in Space X.
