SpaceX’s Inspiration4 mission is a resounding success. The crew made up of all civilians had no space professionals on board. Jared Isaacman, Hayley Arceneaux, Dr. Sian Proctor, and Chris Sembroski all received only 6-months of training.
The capsule’s four main chutes opened as the Inspiration4 capsule made a perfect landing. Splashdown took place in the Atlantic Ocean near the Florida coast on September 18.
Each of the four crew members represented Leadership, Hope, Generosity, and Prosperity.
