The first batch of "International" tourists successfully returned to Earth after completing space travel in a spaceship

Paris, September 22 (Remote) Last Saturday night, four American tourists took a three-day space trip on a Space Space tourists.

According to a video report by Elon Musk’s company, last Saturday night, at 23:00 GMT (19:00 East Coast of the United States), a "spacecraft" carrying four space tourists The "Dragon Cabin" returns to Earth. There is a heat shield on the outside of the "Dragon Cabin" and it is dragged by four huge parachutes and slowly lands on the water.

The captain of the flight, billionaire Jared Isaacman, later said: "This is a sacred journey for us, and it has just begun. . ”

A Space X ship later picked up the capsule. The four passengers walked out one after another with smiles on their faces. They were then flown by helicopter to the Kennedy Space Center, where they took off last Wednesday night, where they were reunited with their families.

Space X boss Elon Musk wrote on Twitter after the Dragon capsule landed: "Congratulations, Inspiration 4." "Inspiration 4" is The official name of the mission.

The four Americans flew farther than the International Space Station (ISS), reaching an altitude of 590 kilometers. They fly at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour, which is equivalent to traveling around the world more than 15 times a day.

The completion of this mission marks the beginning of civilian exploration of space, proving that crews without years of formal training can enter space like astronauts.

Todd, the Inspiration 4 mission leader, said: "Welcome to the new space age, where it will be easier for ordinary people to travel into space."

The captain of this flight— — Jared Isaacman, 38, the owner of a financial services company, has paid tens of millions of dollars in travel expenses to Space X (the exact price has not been disclosed).

He provided companion "tickets" for three strangers, including 29-year-old medical assistant Hayley Arceneaux, who was also the first person to go into space with a prosthetic leg; Earth science professor Sian Proctor, 51, and former U.S. Air Force member Chris Sembroski, 42.

After completing the space mission, Jared said: "We love space, but it feels so good to be home!"

Fully autonomous flight and 6 months of training

They had been training for less than six months before traveling. The ship is fully automated, but they are trained to take control of the ship if necessary, just in case. After arriving in space, their body data (heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen saturation, cognitive ability, etc.) are also collected, which will help to better understand the impact of the space environment on people who are new to space.

The "space tour group" also raised a large amount of money for St. Jude's Pediatric Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where Haley Arsenault received cancer treatment as a child and grew up. Later he joined the work there.

Various items from the spacecraft (including a ukulele) were auctioned off, with proceeds donated to the hospital. The auction has raised approximately $160 million to date, $100 million of which was donated by Jared Isaacman.
