SpaceX’s All-Civilian Inspiration4 Crew Orbiting Earth
Not only that, Donald Trump also sabotaged America’s ability to work with China to make America great again by limiting the purchasing power of the United States Populace to buy all the necessities from countries like China to build America great again at a discounted price, HA! That trillions off the USA great again sticker price. Where is he now on Earth? Maybe back in Russia. The Chinese aren’t to blame for their prosperity. They are extremely smart. They have been around for over 4000 years United States. The Russians are to blame for the economic situation between the USA and China. Trump really blew it with his tariff situation he created. Now it has to go back through house, back through the senate, the judicial branch makes sure it’s constitutionality, and the president signs the bill to create a more stable trade environment by lowering or completely eliminating Tariffs on imports from China and other countries Trump affected. Honestly, Trump has a Russian wife, weird dealings with the Russians. Was the United States Department of Defense ever wonder if maybe he is a spy, Insurrectionist, economic subversionist? Or did he just go off the deep end while in office because of being emotionally compromised as a result of stress?
Cool
Stay safe and be well.
Not sure how soon “space is accessible to all of us”, if that means $55 million a pop. Bring it down to about $550, give me a few therapy sessions to manager my claustrophobia… now we’re talkin’.
Economics of scale – this is a massive step towards that goal, and as reusability and supply increases to meet demand, price will keep going down.
Demand must rise more, people must get richer, inflation must be slow and that could result space travel costing like a bus ride to city
It takes time, airplanes at first used to be only for the rich and now commercial air flights are happening all the time. Might take around 15-20 years, hopefully less though!
I’ll take a job as an on flight bartender for the oober elites that wanna get lit.
why no onboard footage?
Probably saving it for Netflix. Gotta raise as much for st. Jude as possible
The software is busy rendering the CGI views, please be patient.
Netflix has footage rights sadly
how they pooh?
where do you think meteors come from?
squeeze their poo muscles almost like normal but just a tiny bit harder due to no gravity assist.
So much for ‘space tourism’. 55,000,000 per seat and you spend your time getting poked, prodded, and questioned like a lab rat, no thanks.
you get the same treatment on the earth for WAY LESS.
😂 they are lab rats and they’re paying too!

“4 average americans”
Well, the billionaire is the only one who is certainly NOT average
he used to be just like you and me and then he decided not to be.
A full day of silence really killed the excitement. With a fundraiser mission called Inspiration I thought they’d be a little more open.
Blame Netflix…. They have footage exclusivity
@Raptor Gonzo hey wheres the source for that? would go quite far to show what not to do for the future lol
@Raptor Gonzo That makes no sense. Imagine buying the rights to the Super Bowl then not airing it live. Two weeks later, nobody cares.
@Ba Doai this is not a thing I wish to see.
A yes, Inspiration 4, or _DELTA._ Very sus number. The first “All Civilian” (Sheepdipped) crew into space.
@Argonaut haha wow you’re so smart to see it that way haha you should bomb the CIA haha do it haha
@Max G some call this low quality bait ^
Guess what else is related to 4? Squares. Rectangles. Most rooms have four walls. Cars have four tires. Most people have four limbs. Four has four letters. Shirts have four holes. Chairs have four legs. Dogs have four legs. Some planes have four engines. Four is even. Even has four letters. The number 4 has four corners to it. What exactly is your point here?
@Mudkip909 that’s some damage control. maybe you could ask what their point is?
@Argonaut what is the point youre trying to argue though
Awesome.. fantastic 👍🇳🇿
when will we ‘ere see the 4 in dragon ?
😂😂 now
Wow! Anyone can go to space! I’m next!
Well, they are finalist of a competition, sponsered by a billionaire.
Do they get to keep the space suits?
Apparently not. Someone said so in the netflix documentary
Lol why didnt Elon go. . . The other Billionaires went?
prolly cause he was afraid the rocket go kablooey! 🎇🔥
Cause whats the point of him going?? Its just a waste of time in his ultimate goal.
😂😆☝🏽 Let us look out the windows with the crew. Why not?
Makes you wonder why they have not done so.
@Alan Preston Netflix
It’s the most significant achievement in space travelling. Congratulations to all travellers and the SpaceX wholehearted.
Agreed! What an incredible accomplishment
https://youtu.be/lo6ZCiUZ3Ew
Most significant? You’re delusional.
No congrats from me. This kind of travel creates pollution and speeds up global warming.
It’s all fun and games until someone says they need to poop.
They have a diaper
@EAzy They have a toilet in the Dragon
This is so much cooler than what Bezos and Branson did.
Deserves 100x as much media and social media attention as those two missions.
The significance of this mission is still not appreciated enough by most people. Or it’s the case they have no idea that four normal civilians are orbiting above them.
TRUE actually its about 200 degrees C cooler!
Why is everyone trying to leave earth??. What’s happening to mankind!.
If you dont know then stay on Earth.
@Nigel Cockburn lmk.
Mankind is destroying Earth and Earth is going to die soon, that’s why people want to transfer to another planet
simply, it is important for us to go multiplanetary. if you don’t want us humans to go instinct, this is the way.
Jeff’s congratulatory message rings hollow considering all the lawsuits they’re CURRENTLY filing against SpaceX.
Even more so since Inspiration 4 is around 5 times higher than Jeff Who? and Branson could get to, maybe they trying to stay relevant since they’re easily forgotten.
https://youtu.be/pEv9uwN2wr4
Bezos is utterly and completely ruthless. Everyone should know it by now.
Bezos isn’t doing what he’s doing because of Musk. He’s doing it for what he’s trying to do. And he’s using all means necessary. It isn’t personal despite how it looks. He wants to be apart of it it. On one hand I can understand him.
@Adam Burling It’s totally against Musk, Bezos started the rocket company before Elon, yet Elon and SpaceX blasted past them at a huge rate, and because of the progress they’ve made NASA gave them priority over certain things except the amount of money since BO got more than SpaceX, and SpaceX has just sent civilians 4 times higher than Bezos went in his little rocket which has got to sting at least a little bit.
Also Bezos has gone after everything Elon is doing, EVs, Starlink style internet and even solar energy, remember a few years ago when Bezos said he was more clever than Elon ? not exactly proving that since his only talent is lobbying everything he can against SpaceX to slow or stop them, the amount of money he has he would be well ahead of SpaceX if he wasn’t such a scrooge, his focus is fame and a bank balance that’s it.
Jeff “bozo” bezos.
in the real world, millionaires are not your everyday Americans.
Well 3 of the 4 are not.
0:51 LoL C’mon guys .. that looks so fake, look at the one on the right!
So smiling people don’t exist?
Yawn. Another low earth orbit being exaggerated as an milestone accomplishment. I mean really. If 50 years ago Apollo supposedly went to the moon, which requires an altitude of 250,000 miles, why have no manned missions ever since exceeded low earth orbit? I believe the highest altitude other than Apollo was 750 miles. This SpaceX flight is only a mere 357 miles. Why stop there if going to the moon was so easy? Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that every mission should go half way to the moon. But why not achieve at least 1,000, 1,500 miles or more. What’s holding everyone back? Unless of course there is a huge problem doing that (like perhaps excessive radiation) and as a result mankind has never actually done that before. Wouldn’t it be better for the reputation of manned space flight as a science if NASA finally owned up to the lie of Apollo? That yes, it was all faked? For one thing, it would allow the general public to for the first time really appreciate how truly challenging it is to leave low earth orbit. It would also explain why no manned missions since Apollo have gone beyond low earth orbit. How many more decades of mankind not exceeding 750 miles will it take before people start realizing that we never did go to the moon.
Massive credit to this channel. I have watched the launch live and been desperate to find news and the www is empty its been empty of any news for almost 24 hours. The news is fantastic. I sure hope its true. However this channel sure has sponged up the dross commenting below.
It’s really disheartening that almost all media ignored or have given very little attention to Inspiration4. I watched the documentary on netflix and the launch here on yt and I really thing this mission and those people are really inspiring. And Hayley is such a badass!
😬 Challenger…..go with throttle up 💥
I’m so lonely. Would love to be there with you and experience. Sure beats the heck out of being on earth and having noone with you at all. To the other side
Not as lonely as you would feel if something went wrong up there and you where a crew member ! The planet earth is a living jewel!!! Enjoy it!!
That’s what proper planning and safety being paramount is for… the earth will always be home, but to be at home and be alone is terrible, and for them to be able to be in space and have another is love. Embrace it!!
truly inspiring
They must be saving all the footage for episode 5 of Countdown. The 5th episode releases September 30 on Netflix.
A billionaire isn’t an everyday American, just saying
Why they want to go back to earth not live long there!
That is good that they are in their orbit and now we have to get them back on Earth again safely to know that the mission was a success.
flat earthers may go extinct
The sound of Mark Sargents exasperation is orgasmic. Someone knows what I’m talking about…
Space travel- an extreme stupid thing.
Lol, no 😂😂
yeah, Jared is truly an “everyday” american… djeez
Do you think they have sexe out there and do they change each other’s diapers? Well done SpaceX, what an achievement!!!
Nothing new. No video, no audio, no nothing, but reruns of the launch. Starting to feel like bait and switch.
There is some pictures now. Bit I am pretty sure its because Netflix has rights to all the video.
that’s what you call going into space, rather than the rubbish Branson and bezos did, with their 1 minute pathetic joke.
Hear hear
Jw where were the g-force tests? And the blood pressure tests? And everything else we saw in the 90s for astronaut training? Regular civilians, and I’m not sure any human being, for that matter, could withstand the g-force at 17,500 mph….just sayin. Not a flat-earther or a fake-moon-lander, but idk how it’s possible to survive that amount of pressure
They underwent 4g acceleration while going into orbit. It’s not like they went from 0 to 17,500 mph in 60 seconds. They all underwent centrifuge training prior to the flight.
Speed isn’t what kills – it’s acceleration (or deceleration.) and a flight to space, in terms of acceleration is roughly equivalent to a top fuel dragster, just for a longer period of time. The astronauts sit in a position and in seats designed to both distribute the additional effective force and also ensure blood doesn’t pool away from the brain. So they are on their backs, feet up.
You’d feel roughly like three other people were laying on top of you. So, that’s a lot of pressure, no doubt. But it’s not going to squish you like a grape.
They actually had to go through several months of simplified astronaut training, including medical inspections, g-force tests, and simulations. Going to orbit is still very much a huge deal with minimal margins for error, so they aren’t going to send completely unprepared people up there.
Going to space! Amazing!
Pushing the envelope. What SpaceX does. I wonder if Bezos is done suing because his rocket tech is basically stone-age compared to SpaceX. I was on a plane last month having a conversation and there was a lady sitting across the isle. She chimed-in about how she worked at Blue Origin. We all giggled. Lol
Sat in a Hollywood studio
No lmao
it is a nice technological achievement but why do we need space traveling when there huge problems on our planet? And only people with lots of money go to the orbit for their amusement.
Simple space provides a lot of resources that might stop Earth’s illegal mining. We can discover new knowledge and expand our race to the cosmos. Provide new opportunities such as jobs and businesses in SPACE!!!! How amazing is that working as a nurse in space station hospital?!
Everyday Americans 🤣🤣🤣are u f kidding me. By the way. Apparently using old soviet designed rockets plus new software, electronic technology coded by Indians and chinese is breakthrough for space x and america. I dont understand why it’s a big deal. Russians send tourists to cosmos since 90s .
I wish them safe return!
all of Jeff’s Blue Origin employees gave their thumbs down
What’s with all the unrealistic hype about space travel, when its all said and done this will still be for billionaires and multi-millionaires. I grew up in the 60s n 70s and I was told that the 21st century would have flying cars and personal flying jet packs for the masses. Psyche, got ya. Space travel is right up there with private jets and yachts.
FAKE
Rocket launch was real, but nobody’s on board… the “civilians” are strapped into some leftover Hollywood movie set props, taking in a stunning view of a cgi green screen while they help perpetuate the fake believe illusion for the sheeple… they never left earth, they signed a non-disclosure agreement to put on a show. David Copperfield made the space shuttle disappear live on TV, the shuttle was real.. its just the disappearing part was an illusion. Space X launched a rocket into the sky, its just the “civilians” on board is the illusion.
Ask them is it flat
#Dogecoin 🚀🚀😁
Cool
Giving flat-earthers migraines.
This is really a bad news for the planet – nothing exciting but creates more pollution and speeds up global warming, period.
People are starving living on the streets yet we have money to fly into space. Am I the only one who sees something wrong here?
If no one else can see how all of this is staged faked planned deception, from the narrator claiming these are your everyday citizens, to all the clearly faked underwater CGI shots which they havnt even shown here, you globetards have to be more braindead than I ever thought possible.
many people always hear that about China blockade of news this say in western countries, in fact that western countries often make blockade of news from China news, special for recently Chinese astronauts outside of space station with walking in the space and they landing on the earth successful this news, it’s without many of mainstream media reports in western countries, which one like blockade of news between China or western countries today? western countries often like make double standard and point at a deer and say it is a house
Bizo and Bronson must take notes and ask questions in this space class…
😝😝
Goofy spacesuits.
Maybe said billionaires will finally pay their taxes…
What a crock!
“Average Americans”? Gimme a break Mr. reporter! 🤣 The average America is overweight, has diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension. These civilians seemed to be in the upper 10 percentile of fitness level.
