SpaceX is Taking 4 Individuals to Space

On Tuesday, SpaceX announced that it will be putting four private individuals into intergalactic orbit as early as late 2021.

You and 3 of your friends are being given the opportunity to see “Earth in a way no one has since the Gemini program.”

The quartet of private citizens will launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida in one of SpaceX’s crewed Dragon spacecraft, before going on to fly at an altitude approximately twice as high as the International Space Station. The craft will travel for a duration of 5 days without docking, before returning to the Earth’s surface.

They can expect to pay anywhere between US$30-$40 million for the privilege of breaking a new record; the ‘highest altitude spaceflight’ by a private citizen.
