Inspiration4 Mission: Everything You Need to Know | TIME

- The prospect of space travel will feel much different after the Inspiration4 mission-the first orbital mission with an all-civilian crew-launches this fall. Once that happens, the history of human spaceflight will instantly be divided into two eras. There will have been the six decades after the first human circled above the Earth in 1961, when orbital space was mostly a realm solely for nation-states and their hand-picked astronauts. And then there will be the post-2021 era following Inspiration4, when space travel will come definitively within the grasp of private corporations and citizens-an era in which, for the right price, anyone can look down at our blue marble from orbit.

"brief suborbital hops" is a subtle yet accurate way to question Blue Origin's 20 years of existence 😂
lol if I ever win a 60$ million lotto I would buy a seat on SpaceX even if it cost 25 million it would be worth it
I watched the entire documentary of Inspiration4 in one day. When people are put on a task, it’s crazy what they can do. 😊
Sian was my college Geology professor! how awesome!
@Erre WaserSMCC 07'
Wow that is hugely amazing.
Thats so cool
Congratulations Dragon Riders!
We, whom are about to watch in awe, salute you.
Touchdown Baby 🔥🔥 welcome back Inspiration 4 crew
Here's wishing SpaceX/BlueOrigin/Boeing all the best to get Humanity to stars.
Elon Musk puts Bezos's carnival ride to shame! Bezos just cannot help but be outclassed and out maneuvered by Musk.
More people in space the better.
@@_hrlt true. And what bezos is trying to pull off by whining isn't in the best interest of #TeamSpace
Very true. outclassed. But, we need the competition. In fact, there's not enough.
@@qui3tstorm793 Until BO gets something to orbit there isn't really any competition to speak of. The nearest thing is Boeing Starliner which sorta got to orbit but they are having issues.
Totally agree. This is a very serious mission and yet another first, not a vain billionaire's second-place thrill ride.
Who’s here from the countdown series on Netflix? 🚀
I enjoyed the Netflix series, did you find it interesting as well?
3 days in space? Wow now that makes Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin look like babies.
yeah but i think virgin galactic is a baby with giant potensial, maybe someday will be biger and better, but the other one i dont know XD
Can't wait for the netflix docuseries!
To put it briefly, This was amazing!
Inspiration4 = Best idea of 2021 and absolutely one of the best ideas ever!
Geoff "Besos" (lol): this is what a serious human space flight mission looks like. You wouldn't have made the cut.
Epic
Inspirational indeed
SPACE-X AND NASA FOR THE WINS!!!
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Spacex 👌
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU AND SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I FEEL LIKE CRYING WITH COMPLETE JOY, HAPPINESS AND GRATITUDE! GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH! GOD BLESS EVERYONE AT ST JUDE. 🙏
fly safe
I was sent here by Grey junior school
That is amazing! But i'm curious about where will the "bathroom" be hahaha
#ThisMatters
Inspiration 4 go
errmmm, where's the bathroom?
Near the nose cone.
In their pants.
@@DrRestezi no
@@CuddleTrouble who farted, I smelt it.
Perhaps Mr Jeff can sue Mr Isaacman for claiming to be the first billionaire civilian astronaut.
3 days in that tiny capsule?
How long are they going to be up there for
they are gonna orbit earth 3 times
I believe for several days, maybe 3-5?
@@gamers-xh3uc 48 times actually. They’ll be up there for about 3 days and complete a full orbit roughly every 90 minutes
@@gamers-xh3uc no
@@gamers-xh3uc no they’re going up for 3 days
No zero gravity training? Get em’ in the water. Neutral buoyancy is as close as you get on earth!
Isn't this zero G training? czcams.com/video/yPf7JIIZ8qU/video.html
Only for EVA suits.
Actually, they DID do water training. As well as centrifuge training, and parabolic jet flights (which also cause momentary zero G). I think they pretty much had all bases covered.
LETS UCKIGN GO
Are they gonna dock to the ISS?
no...they will actually be orbiting higher than the ISS for 3 days
Hi
Imagine if this gets over 100000 likes lol
Jeff will say something about this when it is a success dick go go go go spacex I believe we are just on the edge of something great
How will the crew members be protected from space debris?
Space debris is very very far apart. It’s not like a cloud of debris.
@@weekiely1233 The revolver has one bullet in the cylinder; you have no problem pulling the trigger?
@@roger7341 if the bullets location could be tracked and avoided like space debris then yes
Where they use the bathroom
What if they need to go to the bathroom?
Space toilet
@@Smart-Towel-RG-400 🤣 DOH!!
It's already there
Just poop in your pants
Um... Thats all good and well, but ahhh.. where are they going to go to the bathroom!!? and how are going to manage the smell? not like you can just vent the stench into space...
There’s a toilet at the top of the capsule.
"It is SURE to need human intervention" Uhh hey Time maybe hire some writers with actual engineering backgrounds before green lighting such obviously ignorant statements.
Rrue, it hasn't needed any intervention yet with 4 flights and dockings to the ISS for the crew version plus many cargo craft. The news medias are unaware of this engineering thing you speak of. :)
just a bit of FYI...
sir Jeffrey Kluger is considered one of the leading authors and correspondents for spaceflight related news and history today.
He’s the lead reporter for one of Time’s documentaries - A Year In Space - from which they covered the One Year Crew of the ISS, AND the Netflix miniseries about Inspiration4...
and oh, he’s the Co-Author of “A Lost Moon”, the official biographical book of the Apollo 13 mission, from which the mission’s Commander - Capt. Jim Lovell - is the other Co-Author. Their book became the basis for the critically-acclaimed 1995 movie of the Apollo 13 mission.
And ever since, he has made countless articles and publications about the space program that is backed by information straight from the source itself.
in short, calling him “ignorant” reflects more on you, not him.
P.S. just so you know, even though Crew and Cargo Dragon are very similar craft, their flight control systems have significant differences, with the former allowing human intervention (manual control) that can be used at the crew’s discretion, which by the way, is a huge part of the certification process for the spacecraft to be allowed to carry people in the first place.
@@hanschristianben505 Their flight control systems are exactly the same ( except for the superdracos ) but they remove the touch screen interface. This is because there are no humans to use them. In fact during the in flight abort test which was a NASA certification flight they didn't put in the touch screens. In fact they use the exact same flight computers on Starship and super heavy booster. The software is of course different.
@@williamgreene4834 - yup, that’s exactly where Crew and Cargo Dragon differs in their flight control systems
@@hanschristianben505 The touch screens are just like a keyboard, mouse and screen. You can take those away from your home computer and it will continue to operate perfectly. You will lose the ability to interface with it but if you aren't home it doesn't matter. That was my only point. You're right and I'm wrong. Sorry about that.
Any private toilets ?
Nope
There's a privacy curtain which may help a little. The toilet is upside down on the ceiling so don't look up. :)
how will they urinate and etcetera?
could be so sad this crew someway die on the mission
nah spacex has done this over a hundred times and they have so many safe stuff in the rocket
Positive thoughts and pray for safety.

@@gamers-xh3uc this is fourth crewed flight. when it comes to space - failure is always an option. there are risks.
Shalom and many blessings!
Question for everyone.
What would be your initial thoughts on hundreds of thousands of African Americans leaving America at once; Mass Exodus style, back to Africa due to seeing no signs of our circumstances changing in America?
And would you go?
Tf?
whatthefuck.jpg
Would I go to starvation land? No. Would I stop thousands of useless people to die somewhere else? No. Rather I'd campaign for brilliant immigrants to replace useless headcounts and make a better place.
No one's going to f-in Africa are u insane??
Weird
Lights Out, Flat Earther's
Is there any masturbation designated area?
What freaking waste of time and money ......
A little bit. It's cool, the technology is incredibly impressive. But can't help thinking this is directly killing our planets habitability. So maybe prioritize funds to sorting out that 1st. Not after, because we can still fix these things. But if we keep going we won't be able to and all this awesome technology won't help us at all. It's very impressive and I really want to understand the universe. To do so we need to survive. Not destroy ecosystem, ourselves and the planet. This was a collosal sum of money that was talked about for about 5 minutes. Wasteful and not in touch with reality. Only "average" dude that went up only got like 5 minutes screen time lol.
