Punch it, SpaceX


She’s not looking up at the sky; she’s looking down at it.

I am excitedly following the Inspiration4 spaceflight and its diverse all-private crew of Jared Isaacman, Sian Proctor, Christopher Sembroski, and Hayley Arceneaux. Orbiting higher than any humans this millennium and carrying the largest window ever flown in space, their Crew Dragon Resilience is providing unprecedented and breathtaking views of Earth and stars.

The crew and their personal stories are inspiring, but in addition to advancing human spaceflight, Inspiration4 is raising money for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. The mission also highlights Space Exploration Technologies Corporation at the dawn of a second space age. As Jared radioed seconds before launch, “Punch it, SpaceX”.

Floating in Crew Dragon's remarkable cupola and orbiting at a near-record altitude, Hayley Arceneaux describes her view of Earth for children of St. Jude, the children's research hospital that saved her life and for which she now works. (@Inspiration4x/Twitter)
