It was very important to me that this was
a very fair, independent process.

I wanted no say in anyone who was selected
for this.

I wanted it to be as objective as it
possibly could be.

And that's where we came up with our
mission pillars.

We wanted a crew member to represent
leadership, a crew member to represent

hope, we wanted a
crew member to represent

generosity, and a crew
member to represent prosperity.

You know, for our mission
pillar of generosity, that

was all going to be a
fundraising campaign for St. Jude.

And the way you participate is you've got
to make a donation to an incredible cause.

And that donation
would be an entry into a

sweepstakes to have
a spot on Inspiration4.

And this also plays right into the Super
Bowl commercial.

I wanted to energize a lot of people and
hopefully inspire a lot of people as to,

you know, certainly
what we can accomplish in

space, but also what
we can do here on Earth.

Taylor, you should know
I really love you because

I put on real clothes
for you on a Sunday.

Um, loving it.

All right, I'm going to taste test.

I love them.

Thank you.

I was so excited for Super Bowl Sunday
because I was dying to tell people.

This is the biggest news of my whole life.

You were with Michael last night.

With Michael is a loose term, but yes.

I had some of my friends over and I'm
like, watch the commercials.

And so then they were like, oh, well,
you're going to be on The Bachelorette.

It's not The Bachelor.

Or is it The Bachelor?

Because I know the
new season starts soon or

they're starting to film
for the new season.

Like soon.

You'll see, you'll realize.

And immediately after I said that,
the Inspiration4 commercial came on.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

This fall, Inspiration4 launches as the
first online commercial.

All civilian mission to space.

You going to space?

No, you're not.

I am.

Are you really?

Yeah.

Oh, you're really.

You are.

Excuse me?

Yes.

I'm really confused.

Wait, you really are?

I'm literally going out of space.

You're going to freaking space?

Yeah.

Look, I can't cuss on camera, but what the
F?

That's what's up.

That's what's up.

Woo!

I'm going to space.

Coming to space.

We're getting some news from SpaceX.

Plans for the world's first all-civilian
mission to space.

People who are joining us
late on Sunday night might

have seen the commercial
that ran during the Super Bowl.

Anyone who contributes any
amount to the St. Jude fundraising

effort can be considered
for the third astronaut seat.

My name is Chris Zambroski.

And I am 41 years old.

I've got two beautiful daughters and married
and living out in western Washington.

I first heard of this mission from the
Super Bowl lad.

It showed up on the TV.

It's like, well, that's kind of an
interesting opportunity.

And, oh, it's benefiting St. Jude.

Just kind of pull out my phone.

Oh, I'll just go to the website real
quick.

Take a look.

Oh, okay, I'll donate to St. Jude.

Growing up, I was in math competitions and
went to a science and math high school.

So I've always been a math major.

I've always been someone who loves space
and rockets and science.

But I never thought that I'd actually have
a chance to go to space.

Putting your name into the lottery,
it's like, okay, yeah, that's fine.

You're helping St. Jude and you're raising
money for them.

Whatever, Chris.

Okay, you're never going to space,
but here you go.

Enjoy your dream.

There was a morning where Chris was
downstairs with the girls.

And I think it was one of those mornings
where I was able to sleep in a little bit.

And he had left his phone on the
nightstand and it started ringing.

And I looked at it and I saw Inspiration4.

And I thought it was a telemarketer.

So I ignored it.

And then they called back.

And it was Inspiration4 again.

And I thought, this telemarketer is really
persistent.

Oh, okay.

Well, I remember donating.

Yeah.

Who are you?

And what kind of extended warranty are you
trying to sell me?

You know, I made up some shit about it.

We need to do some administrative
coordination.

We need to get on the Zoom.

Just made some shit up and got him on the
Zoom.

Kid had called the phone.

He's the mission director for this.

Hey, there we are.

Jared's obviously doing all the talking.

And he pretty much just let him know,
hey, dude, you're the guy.

Jared just kind of does his nod in his
very Jared way.

He's like, you know,
we'd like to invite you

to be a part of the
crew of Inspiration4.

You are now going to represent that
mission spirit.

You are the spirit of generosity on
Inspiration4.

For a minute there, I
thought the Zoom froze

because Chris didn't
flinch, didn't say anything.

That was the extent of my reaction at the
time.

He was just in shock.

It's like, wow, this is really exciting.

But wait a minute.

I have a family.

How am I going to make this all work?

Everybody had a different
reaction when I told

them that their spot was
selected for Inspiration4.

Chris, first thing is I'm going to talk to
my family about this.

No matter what, I'm a father first.

That was his reaction to it, really, is
talk to my family and see what they think.

But I really appreciate this opportunity.

There you go.

I mean, I went upstairs after the phone
call, though, and told my wife,

I think I'm going to ride a rocket.

I think it's about how I phrased it.

And she just, what?

I could see his face and he was almost
buzzing.

And he was just excited and kind of
holding it back a little bit.

And we all kind of looked up at him.

And our oldest said, what?

You're going into outer space?

And Chris started smiling.

My eyes started watering.

And he looked at me and he said,
I see you.

And we talked.

There's a lot of risk.

What happens if something goes wrong?

What is that going to do to her?

What's it going to do to our daughters?

Did I know that my husband signed up for
it?

Did I know that my husband signed up for a
contest to win a trip into outer space?

No.

Am I surprised that my husband entered a
contest to win a trip into outer space?

No, I'm not.

No.

Chris and I were both living in Great
Falls, Montana, fresh out of college.

I was working at my first teaching
position.

Chris was stationed with the Air Force.

We were at a friend's barbecue.

And I had walked out to the back deck.

And he was wearing this space camp T-shirt
tucked into his jeans.

And he walked up to me
and the first thing that he said

to me was, did you watch
the space shuttle launch today?

And I think my first reaction was,
nerd alert.

Not only is he funny,
but he has that ability

to laugh at himself,
which is really endearing.

And he's thoughtful.

He's caring.

And he's my favorite person to spend time
with.

With this mission, there are times when
you feel so proud and excited.

And there are times when you feel anxious
and nervous.

All I really am thinking
about and wanting is,

you know, come back
to Earth safe and sound.

And then I'll party.

Right from the start of Inspiration4,
right, knowing that this was going to be

the first civilian mission this month,
Thank you so much.

It was just very apparent to me that any
time you have a first like this,

that it comes with significance and
responsibility.

And that's why we established our mission
pillars.

The last was going to be our mission
pillar of prosperity.

And I wanted that to be an entrepreneur
selection process from the start.

We wanted a crew member to share a
business idea with the world.

I just know how difficult it is to take a
business from a concept to a reality.

And if we can incorporate
that into this and find our next

great inspiring entrepreneur,
then we should do that too.

My name is Cyan Proctor.

I am 51 years old and I am from Phoenix,
Arizona.

I don't have a TV and I did not watch the
Super Bowl.

But then halfway through
the contest, I saw a

friend post their video
for the prosperity seat.

And I went, there's another seat?

So you had to show
your entrepreneurial spirit

and do a 2 minute and
20 second Twitter video.

I'm Gretchen Green.

My name is Brian K.

Smith.

I'm Andrew Rader.

Like many people, I've always wanted to be
an astronaut.

I build my own rockets.

I watch every launch I can.

I've always dreamt of taking an entire
orchestra to space.

And now I might actually have the chance.

An opportunity to create
imagery from orbit would

quite literally take my
photography to new heights.

I want to bring the mystery and wonder of
space to the everyday person while

simultaneously supporting an amazing
cause.

And I'm ready to be an inspiration for
all.

Live long and prosper.

And so I think it was 50 takes.

And finally I got one that I was like,
OK, I'm done.

I'm going to post this.

And I just told my story.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Dr. Sian Proctor.

And I'm a geoscientist, explorer and
analog astronaut.

And I have dreamed about going to space my
entire life.

I was born in March of 1970.

And I was born on Guam.

And the reason why we were on Guam is
because my dad was working at the NASA

tracking station during the Apollo
missions.

And I was born eight and a half months after
Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon.

So I literally am a Apollo 11 moon
celebration baby.

Dad was responsible for helping to track
the spacecraft as it moved around the Earth.

Neil Armstrong, Buzz
Aldrin went on a tour of the

tracking stations to thank
everybody that worked there.

And so Neil Armstrong
wrote this really nice

note that said, To Ed,
thanks for all the help.

Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11.

I was a feisty, independent kid early on.

My passions were anything outdoors and
airplanes.

In high school, you know how you put up
pictures in your locker?

I had a photo of an F-16 pilot inverted in
my locker.

I can't shoot this son of a bitch.

Let's see if we can have a little fun with
him.

When I saw Top Gun for the first time,
it blew my mind.

I was like, oh, this is exactly what I
want to do.

But it was all about men.

I just thought that I couldn't be a part
of that world.

I had zero female fighter pilots as role
models.

And I had always seen being an astronaut.

Through the military fighter pilot lens.

And so I thought that I couldn't ever be
an astronaut.

But then, years later, somebody
emailed me and said, NASA's

looking for astronauts you
should apply with the link.

I was 38 years old when
that announcement came

out that they were
looking for astronauts.

There was about 3,500 that applied for
that selection round.

And out of that, they chose nine.

And I'm like, why would they choose me?

And then I realized when I looked at the
requirements that I met, most of the

minimum requirements for being an
astronaut.

And I ended up being
a finalist, which meant

that I got down to literally
a yes-no phone call.

The yes-no phone call comes in.

They just said, sorry, we didn't select
you.

Please try again.

And, of course, you're
like, oh, you know,

because you're that close
to this childhood dream.

And it just slipped away.

When she got the news that
she wasn't selected as a NASA

astronaut, you kind of see
the lights go down, right?

Because you don't think this opportunity
is going to ever happen again.

You know, it was a devastating blow.

They put out a call for astronauts not too
long ago, just before COVID.

And people asked me.

Are you going to fly?

And I'm like, now I'm, you know,
50.

And I just don't think that's the route
for me if I'm going to go to space.

But I think that one day commercial space
will work.

When I submitted my
video for Inspiration4, I

didn't build myself as a
scientist and a geologist.

I built myself as a poet and an artist.

I opened up my shop where I sell my art.

My entrepreneurial spirit lies in the fact
that I combine space art with poetry.

Now, one of the rules
for the contest was that

you had to be able
to go viral a little bit.

The more likes and
attention it got, the greater the

chances are it would make it
to the final selection process.

And so I rallied Twitter.

And in three days, I had 70,000 views on
my video.

I got an email on Saturday that said,
Hey, we've got some administrative stuff

for you that we need to check on.

Can you jump on a Zoom really quickly on
Sunday?

Hey, Dr. Proctor.

Hi.

Hi, Jared.

Hi, kid.

Hi.

And I'm like, Jared's on here.

The good news is that
it's not really part of the

vetting process because
you've already gone through that.

You're selected.

So you are representing Inspiration4 in
the Prosperity seat.

So you're going to go to space.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I have dreamt of this my entire life.

You know, life-changing.

Life-changing Zoom call.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank you.

It would have been easy for Jared to just
take three friends and do this in secret.

But as John F.

Kennedy said about the moon, he said, we
don't do these things because they're easy.

We do them because they're hard.

It's much more than just him.

It's much more than his crew.

He's doing this for a purpose and for a
benefit for future missions.

I'm excited.

I'm excited.

I'm so excited.

This is cool.

This is awesome.

Yeah.

We're a crew.

We

know not all of this is going to be fun.

Some of this is going to be uncomfortable.

But we all are singularly
focused on making sure

that we are successful as
a team and a crew together.

The whole

crew is, for a process that
was about as random as

you could get, the stars
have always aligned with us.

I mean, we have a fantastic crew.

Every one of them brings amazing qualities
to the mission.

As space becomes an increasingly
egalitarian place where you can fly and I

can fly and my kids can
fly, I think we will look

back and say, who were
the first people who did this?

Oh, yes, that was inspiration for...

I

saw you photobombing me.

Hi, I love your dress.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, look at everybody coming in.

I'm so excited.

Okay, let them in.

Go ahead.

Admit all.

Okay.

Hi, everyone.

Turn your cameras on so I can see
everybody.

Okay.

So, I just wanted to say...

I'm going to get emotional, but you know
my dream of always wanting to go to space.

I wanted to let you know that I got
selected as the inspiration for...

I dropped my pet and I'm going to space.

I... Oh, my God, I
cannot believe this.

I know, Langley.

I'm in Florida right now with the
inspiration for crew.

Okay, so I'm going to bring my crew
members over.

Jared, Haley, Chris.

Let's all get in here.

So, this is the four of us are going to
space.

We're going to space together.

You know, there have
been three black female

American astronauts
who have made it to space.

I will be number four.

So, it's a small number.

I feel very fortunate to help
advance women of color

in space and particularly
African American females.

We have been overlooked.

And we have not been supported as much as
we could be.

And I would like to see that change.

My dad would always tell
me about how scientists

stand on the shoulders of
the scientists before them.

And that's exactly what we want.

We want to inspire people to imagine that,
yeah, it's me in this seat right now,

but it can be you in the future.

I don't want to cry, but, you know, I
wish mom and dad... I wish they were here.

I know dad would be, you know,
so proud.

Yeah.

And so, to carry that, that legacy that
dad started so long ago on Guam.

So, Langley, I'm going to
need that Neil Armstrong

autograph to take to
space with me right there.

Yeah.

Mom, I'm so glad it's over.

I'm glad they know.

I'm so glad that they know, right?

Yes.

I'm just so happy.

That's so powerful.

I'm so happy to be here with all of you.

We're really happy to be here.

Yeah, congratulations.

Great for the movie.

I know.

We're the crew.

We're the crew.

I-4.

Wait, one, two, three.

I-4.

I-4.

Okay, now let's eat.

Okay.

All right.

Inspiration4 will be launching from the
Kennedy Space Center.

It's located on Cape Canaveral on the east
coast of Florida.

The Kennedy Space Center is really the
home to manned space flight.

If you think about people
standing on the beach and

looking up in awe, all of that
is Kennedy Space Center.

It is a vast complex.

It has a military segment.

It has a civilian segment.

It has a range of launch pads.

There is the Vehicle
Assembly Building there,

one of the largest
buildings in the world.

Blue Origin has its own complex there.

SpaceX has its own complex there.

It is an entire mini megalopolis built
around a space industry.

The great thing about the Kennedy Space
Center is that it has this historical

element to it, which is
it's where Apollo launched

from, and it's where the
space shot came from.

And the place where
Inspiration 4 will launch is

the same pad that we
launched people to the moon.

If all goes well, Apollo 11 astronauts
Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins are to lift

off from Pad 39A out there on the voyage
man always has dreamed about.

Kennedy Space Center is home to so much
success, but it's also home to some very

tragic moments in manned space flight
history.

Lessons learned in blood are something
near and dear to our heart.

Space flight is inherently risky,
right?

It is unforgiving of errors.

You're dealing with high-energy
propellants, liquid oxygen and rocket fuel.

Things that in other cases could be used
as a bomb.

The risks are endless.

Risk is not zero.

You're riding a rocket at 17,500 miles an
hour around the Earth.

In that kind of environment, there's risks
associated with it.

Let's look at where things have gone wrong
in the past.

We lost a space shuttle
on ascent, so on the way up,

and we lost a space shuttle
on the way down, on reentry.

When you're on launch, you've got an awful
lot of thrust that's coming out the other

end of that rocket, which is coming from
an awful lot of propellant that's

basically going through a controlled
explosion.

I called my sister-in-law, who's also an
aerospace engineer.

I told her that I was invited to go to
space, and I said, I'm gonna do it.

And she was like, I would never do it.

You're basically on top of a bomb.

The biggest danger is you could die.

I mean, something could
happen with a spacecraft

that literally causes
you to lose your life.

That's the biggest danger.

But it's not about crazy risk-taking.

This is about going on a
journey that has all of the

safety precautions that
you can think of built into it.

None of the crew members have expressed
any, like, direct fear.

But I do think that there might be
concerns in other ways, like for family.

Like, hey, I know the risk I'm taking.

I'm not entirely sure.

You know, my family might not necessarily
know fully their risks that they're taking.

The families of the crew
members have a significant

yet different burden than
those actually going up.

And that's what they live with day in and
day out.

The crew are the ones at risk.

The families are the ones who now bear the
consequence of that risk.

I'm not thinking about the launch.

I'm not thinking about her being in space.

I'm thinking about today.

I think, similarly to when she was going
through treatment, one day at a time,

I know the people behind the scenes,
and I'm very confident.

But of course, you know, as a mother,
I have those worries.

What are your biggest fears right now?

I try not to go there.

But of course, I do at times.

Of course, something happening.

I'm the generation that was watching the
Challenger.

And I...

Krista McAuliffe's parents' face,
you know, pops into my head.

The star of this mission, New Hampshire
schoolteacher Krista McAuliffe.

The schoolteacher who was the first civilian
person to be aboard a space shuttle.

There are a lot of students
back at Concord High

School who would love
to have that opportunity.

A crowd of some 500 spectators,
including Krista McAuliffe's parents,

Grace and Edward Corrigan, watched proudly
in tears of joy.

Liftoff of the 25th space shuttle mission
and it has cleared the tower.

We have a report from the flight dynamics
officer that the vehicle has exploded.

At 1140 a.m.

this morning, space program experienced a
national tragedy with the explosion of the

space shuttle Challenger
approximately a minute and a

half after launch from here
at the Kennedy Space Center.

When we talk about risks, you know,
you're in a mission.

The two times where you're the most
worried is in launch and then reentry is

the other part where you
worry about that because

now you're intentionally
falling back to the Earth.

Once you're in orbit, you've got to then
get rid of the energy.

Your entry is like a meteor.

You're like a blazing meteor coming in.

And so it's hard not to get vaporized.

There's meteors hitting Earth all the
time, but they mostly get vaporized.

We have booster ignition and liftoff of
space shuttle Columbia.

As Columbia blasted into
the last frontier this morning,

Racine native Laurel
Clark was along for the ride.

My name is Jonathan B.

Clark.

My wife, Laurel, we were both active-duty
Navy officers.

We'd met in Navy dive school.

And she had this kind of unique,
just down-to-Earth nature.

Laurel was a wonderful mom.

When she was applying to NASA,
she had been pregnant the first time.

And her attitude was, hey, if I can't be an
astronaut, I have as great a job as a mom.

And when she got picked up by NASA,
it was a shock to both of us.

I was at NASA for eight years as a shuttle
crew flight surgeon.

To my knowledge, I'm probably the only
person that was a family member that

worked the specific mission that their
wife was on.

Oh, Dad's got on his ESA tie.

Looks nice.

I had the ability to
communicate with her through

what are called private
family conferences.

Oh.

Oh, God, that should be in the eye.

Yeah, good job, Mom.

Now, in retrospect, that's the last
conversations we had.

All right, honey, bye.

We were lucky to have a landing that was
going to be at a perfect time of day.

Houston, comm check.

Columbia, Houston...
Communication was getting very spotty.

It was very obvious it was breaking up.

Houston, we see your tire pressure
messages, and we did not copy your last.

So, copy your tire pressure alarm and did
not copy your last.

I'm like, that's not right.

This indicates to me that something is
catastrophically amiss.

Communications with Columbia were lost at
about 8 a.m.

Central Time.

Within minutes, all the family escorts,
cell phones are going off.

And then, very soon thereafter,
the head of the astronaut office,

he comes in and he goes, we lost the crew.

The space shuttle at some point after
reentry into the Earth's atmosphere,

traveling at 12,500 miles per hour seemed
to break up, according to the pictures.

So reminiscent of that fateful day,
January 28th, 1986, when we saw something

similar upon the takeoff
of the space shuttle

Challenger when it
exploded shortly after takeoff.

Somebody had the insight to take the kids
away.

And it was Barbara Morgan, who was an
astronaut.

She was Krista McAuliffe's backup.

She was there at Krista's demise.

And she knows what to do.

It's almost like there
was some, you know,

divine intervention
that she would be there.

It was almost like...

she's there for a reason.

And she gets the kids away.

And literally within 10 minutes,
the kids are playing and being kids.

And the adults are the
ones that are, you know,

sobbing and just horribly
overcome with grief.

And Barbara said to me, John, the kids
will get us through this.

They were the strong ones.

And as much as it is painful to all of us,
you look at it and you go, life will go on.

You have to, you know, deal with this.

So my role is now, make sure Ian is good.

Make sure the other family members are
good.

Take care of the team.

The tribe.

And we'll get through this.

It's weird, like, now
that we're getting closer

to it, you start
dreaming about the stuff.

Like, good and bad, right?

Like, you start thinking
about, like, what

could happen and the
risks that are involved.

I'm trying to be excited about it.

I'm trying to be positive for him and show
him how proud I am.

But you have your good days and you have
your bad days.

I think being the partner, there is this
expectation that we are proud,

that we are grateful, and we are happy to
be here.

And the reality is that,
yes, we are all of those

things, but we also are
anxious and we also are nervous.

This whole adventure and experience has
been a roller coaster ride.

I know Jared's always been this way.

He's always tried to
do his thing and I've

always kind of let him
do that and be himself.

I don't want him to change because of me
or, like, because we have a family.

As hard as it is for me sometimes,
like, I know he has to do it for himself.

It's his life, too, right?

So...

Sitting in heaven would be looking down
and saying, you go for it.

The higher we go, the farther we can see.

And it's a species imperative for us to do
this.

Your spouse or your loved one's journey is
now your journey.

And their dream is your dream.

To be a part of inspiring the next
generation to pass that torch and

recognize that whatever cost it takes,
that's your dream.

You go for it.

There may be costs to that journey.

Is it worth it?

You bet it is.

Crew 2 launched in the
spring of this year, and

we brought the Inspiration4
crew to the launch.

Crew 2 was the last time
we flew humans to space

from SpaceX in the
Falcon and in the Dragon.

And Inspiration4 will be the next time.

This is awesome.

Look at that.

Guys, look out the window to the east.

You'll see our pad.

And if you look at the very top,
you can see the crew arm sticking out

there as well, which will be your ingress
and egress to and from the capsule.

Look at that.

I am here with my crew to watch Crew 2 lift
off to the International Space Station.

It makes me so proud that we can be a part
of the American history and legacy.

Inspiration4 are going
to be the next humans to

lift off from Kennedy
Space Center in five months.

Once you get off to the pad, you'll be
there around two hours.

T minus 45 minutes.

The arm we call the launch escape system.

So that's the safety net, like your eject
button if something were to happen.

We recognize the risk.

You know, we have families.

But nobody said like, hey,
I'm really nervous about this

because they're all very
confident in what SpaceX has built.

We're coming down here.

What we have in the
center lane right now is our

Crew 2 booster, a reused
booster after a flight use.

That's freaking awesome.

We also have here on the other side, in
the hangar here, the life leader booster.

So this is nine flights on a booster.

And so you can start to see the patina,
if you will.

Getting to see the rocket,
you know, little things that kind

of go through your mind,
like that rocket's really tall.

It just made it so real.

This is the exact path you guys are going
to take.

You're going to come out of the cars,
get in the elevators, go up one floor.

Now you're at the 265.

Welcome to the top of the Space Coast.

Every human being who
walked on the moon and

climbed into a rocket
here on this launch pad.

You know, almost every single shuttle
mission came from this launch pad.

This phone behind you is a shuttle-era
phone.

It's used by most astronauts to come in
and actually make the last phone call they

want to make before they actually hit the
space.

So we put time in the timeline to allow
you guys to use that phone.

I think a lot of us had a pretty
significant moment on Pad 39A.

So many hero astronauts
before us had used that phone to

make, you know, what could
have been their last phone call.

Are you okay?

I'm just practicing breathing.

You can hold my hand if you want.

Just try not to break it.

This crew arm is clearly suspended above
thin air.

Oh my gosh.

So cool.

On the other side of
this rocket, the head

stanchion is a 270 foot
drop, just so you guys know.

But normally, Dragon would be right here.

We have one tradition that we do in the
crew arm that you guys will certainly be

part of, and that's
before you get into the

vehicle, we will sign the
edge of the white room.

When we're here watching Crew 2 launch and
knowing that we're coming up next,

like, you know, how
fortunate we are to

really be standing on
the shoulders of giants.

It's getting real.

This is awesome.

Whoa.

Yeah, the capsule will be right here.

Yep.

The landing facility, you see that round?

Being up on top of that with Pad 39A, this
is where America leaves to go to space.

This is like an amazing dream coming true.

Pretty cool.

What a view.

Gosh.

You're higher than most everybody else in
Florida right now.

That's not hard.

It's not hard.

That's not hard.

It's not hard.

Yeah.

That's cool.

Oh, Chris.

Wow.

What an adventure.

What?

This is just...

Right in front of Gary.

Chris, do you want to get in for a
picture?

In a minute.

Okay.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for you.

I'm happy for you.

Yeah.

I

don't think I'll think about the worldly
impact that this mission is going to have

until Chris is back on the ground.

And it's one of those late nights where
we're sitting and we're chatting with a

glass of wine that I think it'll start to
sink in and we'll start to realize,

wow, this is what you did and this is what
you're a part of.

And this is bigger than the both of us.

I think there's a lot of things that
people enjoy that have risk in life.

When we talk about
space and why do it,

there's a lot of reasons
why we should do that.

We are a speck in the grand scheme of
things when you think about the universe.

And we know so little about it.

The questions that human beings have been
asking themselves since the beginning of

time are probably answered in the worlds
beyond our own.

I think it's in our nature to want to go
and seek out some of those answers and

we're going to find them through an
accessible means to space.

And our mission is one step in that
journey.

I think we're very close to the end of
what space has given us.

I think we're very close to the end of our
planet.

I think we're going to find a way to set
this world on a new road.

from space to space

Like an uncharted territory I must seem
greatly intrigued.

I just remember just excitement and the
reality is setting in.

I'm going to actually experience what that
feels like.

I'm next, let's do this.

Three, two, one, zero.

You have to be willing.

You have to be willing.

You have to be well trained to fly a
SpaceX spacecraft.

You have to be able to tolerate g-forces,
a centrifuge, and overcome your fear.

Our mission to space is not guaranteed.

There are a number of ways that any
individual or the mission could be shut down.
