SpaceX will launch four civilians into space for the first time in history

The crew commander will be Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments. The mission is of a charitable nature: individuals will pay for the flight, and the collected money will be transferred to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, dedicated to the research and treatment of severe childhood cancers and palliative care. Isaacman has already donated $ 100 million to the hospital and intends to raise another $ 200 million (Isaacman has booked three out of four seats on the ship).

All mission participants will undergo compulsory pre-flight training, within the framework of which they will learn how to handle spacesuits, move in zero gravity, etc.
