Trailblazing Civilian Astronauts Successfully Complete Elon Musk SpaceX Flight!
Multiplanetarian Beings Are We!
by Judy Joy Jones
Four Civilian of Astronauts on SpaceX Rocket flight into orbit has ended safely with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean on September 18, 2021.
SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission made history as the farthest any civilian has traveled from Earth -- 367 miles above it -- even farther than the International Space Station.
The capsule was traveling at 17,500 mph when it deorbited, slowed down to around 350 mph when the parachute deployed at 18,000 feet and slowed to 119 mph before it hit the ocean.
Billionaire Jared Isaacman, 38, an experienced pilot, is commanding the mission. He founded a payment process company called Shift4 Payments and purchased all four seats on the flight for an estimated $220 million.
Isaacman wanted this mission to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Before the launch he personally donated $100 million to help end child cancer.
After the crew's return, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said on Twitter he would chip in $50 million to the fundraising goal for St. Jude as well.
Isaacman reserved one seat for 29-year-old St. Jude ambassador Hayley Arceneaux. Arceneaux was treated at St. Jude as a child and returned to work there as a physician assistant. She is now the youngest American to go to space as well as the first pediatric cancer survivor.
Dr. Sian Proctor, 51, the third occupant, made history as well as the fourth African American woman astronaut to travel into space.
Rounding out the crew was Chris Sembroski, 41, an Iraq war veteran and engineer with Lockheed Martin.
The mission, dubbed Inspiration4, helps support Isaacman's goal to raise $200 million to help cure children's cancer. While in orbit, the crew also conducted research "designed to advance human health on Earth and during future long-duration spaceflights," according to SpaceX.
The flight launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The astronauts landed off the coast of Florida after approximately three days.

Elon Musk is Critically changing All Lifeforce for the better through Eternity.
