SpaceX launches historic private space mission with Jared Isaacman and Sarah Gillis in orbit

The project marks a historic milestone, as an advanced space initiative of this nature has never been undertaken entirely by private entities. The spacecraft, developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has been chartered for a mission by billionaire Jared Isaacman. After Isaacman had a moment to gaze down at Earth, it was fellow astronaut Sarah Gillis’s turn to float outside the craft for a while.
