Video Shows First Civilian Spacecraft Taking Off into Space

On Wednesday, SpaceX, an American private aerospace company, carried out its first all-civilian mission to outer space.

The flight launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where they had been training, according to American media.

The crew traveled in a spacecraft called SpaceX's Dragon, which is largely functioning and relying on its own and doesn't require much human input to operate.

The four-person crew led by Jared Isaacman, the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments, a Pennsylvania-based payment processing company is expected to land off the coast of Florida after approximately three days.

Moreover, the four astronauts have been taking up personal items and bringing back pieces of history since human spaceflight began.

In a step intended to explore outer space, SpaceX announced plans in February for the first all-civilian mission to space, a major milestone for private spaceflight and the nascent space tourism industry.

Lately, the Inspiration4 crew has completed centrifuge training, simulations, observing other SpaceX launches, zero-gravity plane training, altitude training, classroom training, and medical testing, according to the SpaceX website.
