The first all-civilian mission to orbit is launched via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Jared Isaacman, founder and CEO of the payments processing company Shift4 Payments (FOUR), paid for the mission, called Inspiration4.
Four people, none of whom are professional astronauts, will spend three days orbiting Earth on the Dragon spacecraft developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Besides going on the trip of a lifetime, the crew will have time to conduct experiments related to human physiology in microgravity.
"Space is a unique environment and there are opportunities to use the microgravity environment to find and develop new treatments and cures for various diseases and ailments," founder of Space Advisors and author of Space is Open for Business, Robert Jacobson told Yahoo Finance.
"Props to Elon Musk for being open to flying Inspiration4. His approval of this mission means that he is confident in the safety and reliability of the vehicle, his teams, and the rest of the necessary infrastructure," he added.
The capsule will travel approximately 350 miles above Earth, orbiting higher than the International Space Station.
