SpaceX makes history again, all civilian space missions successfully launched!

At 20:03 Eastern Time on September 15, 2021 (8:03 Beijing Time on September 16, 2021), with the roaring launch of the Falcon 9 rocket, four new names were added to the list of humans entering space.It is worth mentioning thatThere are no professional astronauts on board the manned Dragon spacecraft, and this is the first mission to send a crew consisting entirely of ordinary people into orbit.

• This task is named Inspiration 4（Inspiration4）
  

About 10 minutes after launch, the Falcon 9 rocket returned to Earth and landed smoothly on a recovery platform anchored in the Atlantic Ocean. In his first communication with SpaceX Mission Control Center after launch, mission commander Isaac Mann stated, "Few people have come to space before, but in the near future, more and more people will come here

• The four crew members of this mission

Civilian, tourist, astronaut

In the past few months, space has welcomed many highly anticipated and extremely wealthy tourists. The billionaire space race kicked off in July, with Richard Branson flying his Virgin Galactic spacecraft to the upper atmosphere of Earth. Not long after, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' rocket flew even further. However, there has been a heated debate over whether they have successfully entered "space", with most people believing that this suborbital flight is not the same as entering low Earth orbit. However, there is no such debate about the Inspiration 4 mission, which flew higher than Bezos or Branson and truly entered low Earth orbit to orbit the Earth.

Of course, this mission is not just a space trip for a spin, the four crew members have undergone months of high-intensity training and will conduct a large number of scientific experiments during the three-day trip.

As Isaac Mann said, the door to space travel is opening to ordinary citizens, and we believe that in the next 10 years, more and more humans will enter space!
