  1. Polaris Dawn mission blasts off with plans for first commercial spacewalk

    Four astronauts have blasted out of the atmosphere as part of a privately funded five-day mission that aims to carry out the first commercial spacewalk.

    #Jared #Isaacman, the American billionaire founder of the electronic payment company #Shift4, is bankrolling the #Polaris #Dawn mission and acting as commander of the crew.

    It is the second trip Isaacman has charted. In 2021, he flew on the #Inspiration4 mission, the first orbital spaceflight by an #all-#civilian crew, which included a cancer survivor as well as a data engineer who won his seat in a raffle draw.

    Isaacman, who has thousands of hours in various aircraft, is joined this time by a retired military fighter pilot and two employees of SpaceX, the Elon Musk-owned company that is operating the mission.

    SpaceX’s #Falcon9 rocket launched from Nasa’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday morning after several delays.
    A previous attempt to launch last month was postponed hours before liftoff after a small helium leak on the launchpad.
    It was later pushed back further when the same make of rocket was temporarily grounded by US regulators for checks.

    The trip will last about five days and take an oval-shaped orbit that travels as far as 870 miles (1,400km) from Earth’s surface

    Rides to space are expensive. Private companys need to make money while NASA more ore less focus on science and reputation. Even today they select some great people to become astronauts.
    BUT
    You ever heard of #Inspiration4 ? A #SpaceX ride chartert by a billionaire but he donated two seats to the hospital St. Jude to raise money for cancer research. Hayley Arceneaux, a former patient of St. Jude got one of the seats and was assigned as as chief medical officer. Great woman and story

  6. 上個月剛結束的這個 #SpaceX#Inspiration4 任務其實還蠻震撼的, 一般民眾經適當訓練後也能夠進行某種強度的太空活動

    雖然整體看來宣傳片的意味是有點濃, 但不管是訓練的過程或是實際太空的景色都還蠻讓我感動的, 推薦大家都來看看這個紀錄片~

  10. Inspiration4 Splashdown

    After three days orbiting Earth, Dragon and the Inspiration4 crew– the world’s first civilian mission to orbit – safely splashed down off the coast of Florida at 7:06 p.m. EDT on Saturday, September 18, 2021, completing their first multi-day low Earth orbit mission.

    Dragon performed a series of departure phasing burns to leave the circular orbit of 575 kilometers and then jettisoned its trunk ahead of deorbit burns. After re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere, the spacecraft deployed its two drogue and four main parachutes in preparation for the soft water landing.

  11. Nach drei Tagen im Orbit ist die erste Amateur-Crew im Weltraum wieder auf der Erde gelandet. Kurz nach 1 Uhr setzte die Kapsel vor der Küste Floridas auf.

  12. Es war die erste Weltraum-Crew, die nur aus Laien bestand. Nach drei Tagen im Orbit sind vier US-Passagiere wieder auf der Erde gelandet. Die Mission ist ein weiterer Erfolg für das Unternehmen SpaceX von Elon Musk.

  14. RT from Inspiration4 (@inspiration4x)

    The crew of #Inspiration4 had an incredible first day in space! They’ve completed more than 15 orbits around planet Earth since liftoff and made full use of the Dragon cupola.

  15. Inspiration4 hat vier Menschen in den Orbit gebracht – und nicht nur einen kurzen Hopser unternommen wie Virgin Galactic oder Blue Origin.
    Warum die erste private bemannte SpaceX-Mission eine große Sache ist
  16. See SpaceX Crew Dragon's new cupola window in space

    SpaceX has released the view from of the new Crew Dragon cupola window and Earth that was captured by a camera mounted on exterior of the spacecraft.

    The Crew Dragon Resilience was outfitted with the window for the Inspiration4 mission.

  17. Yet another pointless space travel 🤦‍♀️
    Is it really a good idea to open up even more air/space for the public?
    #Inspiration4 🚀

  18. Nach Branson und Bezos ist der nächste Milliardär ins All gestartet. Jared Isaacman mietete dafür ein "Dragon"-Raumschiff und nahm drei Passagiere mit.

  19. Fun seeing the #Inspiration4 launch coverage. They're out there at 585km, orbiting higher than any other humans right now. The ISS is 150 km or so below them.

  20. Inspiration4 Launch

    #SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, September 15 at 8:02 p.m. EDT (Thursday, September 16 at 00:02 UTC) for launch of the Inspiration4 mission – the world’s first all-civilian human spaceflight to orbit – aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft from historic Launch Complex 39A at #NASA’s Kennedy #Space Center in #Florida.

    Approximately three days after liftoff, #Dragon and the Inspiration4 crew will splash down at one of several possible landing sites off the Florida coast.
