Inspiration 4 launch in about 2 1/2 hours just after 8pm edt!

3 days of circling the earth in an 575km orbit above both the ISS (420km) and Hubble (550km).

The first all civilian orbital rocket launch.

Instead of posting random anecdotes how about examining the actual safety data?

Beautiful splashdown by the Inspiration 4 team!

They also went over their 200 million dollar St Jude fundraising goal. Nice job to everyone that donated.

Oh and check out what Chris Sembroski was watching during reentry:

lol

It hasn't been publicly released but most people assume that Isaacman paid SpaceX between $150 and $300 million.

I'm convinced that Roscomos had no clue what the Russian Defense Department was doing. Why would they risk endangering the ISS and their cosmonauts?
