In September 2021, these four people were the first ever to make an all-civilian spaceflight. The spaceflight referred to as Inspiration4 was operated by SpaceX and lifted off from Cape Canaveral’s historic Launchpad 39A on 16 September 2021 at 00:02:56 UTC. Aboard were Mr. Jared Isaacman, Commander, Dr. Sian Proctor, Pilot, Ms. Hayley Arceneaux, Mission Specialist, and Mr. Chris Sembroski, Mission Specialist (pictured whilst in orbit, above) who completed a three-day mission, splashing down in the Atlantic on 18 September 2021 at 23:06:49 UTC.
Ultralight pilots have had to wait patiently for two years for an opportunity to fly for points and medals at a world championship, but are finally competing in the Czech Republic.
