Inspiration4 will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket and the Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft as early as the fourth quarter of 2021, a mission dedicated to fundraising for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
Jared Isaacman, a tech entrepreneur and world record-setting pilot, will lead the flight, joined by a front-line woman worker from St. Jude, an entrepreneur who utilizes Shift4Shop, and another person who will be selected depending on their donations to St. Jude’s Hospital.
Isaacman is donating the costs for the seats and has committed $100 million to St. Jude, with the goal of raising upwards of $200 million to expand St. Jude’s childhood cancer research.
