Space Travel - SpaceX to fulfill space travel wish

SpaceX | Space Travel

Since childhood, the desire to travel in space arises in the minds of many. But at many odds, that desire remains confined to will. But this time many are going to fulfill that wish.

It's amazing to think, but this time SpaceX is offering a chance to travel in space. The company announced the launch of the mission for the first commercial lying in the world this year. The project titled 'Inspiration 4' will be launched this year itself.

Four people who want to travel in space will be taken to the SpaceX crew Dragon capsule. For the next three days, the passengers will float around the capsule as it circles around the planet once every 90 minutes, traveling at more than 17,500 miles per hour, while the passengers float and take in panoramic views of Earth. To cap off the journey, their spacecraft will dive back into the atmosphere for a fiery re-entry and splash down off the coast of Florida.

SpaceX said the first ones to go will be announced next week. this opportunity is being provided to all those who want to go on this mission or who dreams of space travel.

SpaceX also said that those participating in the mission will be trained after they are selected. Not only this but training will also be organized on the entire issue of employees involved in the 'Inspiration 4' project.

SpaceX's Crew Dragon:

All four passengers will spend the entire missions aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, a 13-foot-wide, gumdrop-shaped spacecraft that detaches from SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket after reaching orbital speeds.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule was developed by Elon Musk's rocketry company for the specific purpose of ferrying NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station, which it did for the first time ever in May 2020.

Since then, SpaceX has launched two additional Crew Dragon missions for NASA.

SpaceX is allowed, however, to sell seats — or entire missions — to whoever the company chooses. Although NASA paid for much of the Crew Dragon's development, under the terms of the deal between the federal agency and the company, SpaceX still technically owns and operates the vehicle and can use it for whatever commercial purposes it wishes.

Crew Dragon's missions in the near future also include a mix of NASA-commissioned flights to the ISS and space tourism missions.

Elon musk's company has carried out such operations in collaboration with our space research center in the past. In November 2020, the rocket dragon crew launched into space. That was the first commercial mission with astronauts. It was then reported that the 7 dragon crew would be in space for the next 15 months. Astronauts will be in every space. Similarly, this is SpaceX's second mission.

For his part, Musk, the founder of SpaceX, said Inspiration4 will also serve to break down barriers for commercial space flights. “Missions like this bring the cost down over time and make space accessible to all,” he said.

“Curiosity is the essence of our existence.”
