Photos of the Day: T-Minus ONE MONTH Till the Historic Launch of the Inspiration4 Mission!

Just thought I'd share these photos of the four all-civilian astronauts who are just one month away from launching on the historic Inspiration4 mission from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.

Spacecraft commander Jared Isaacman (callsign: Hanks), pilot Sian Proctor (callsign: Leo), mission specialist Christopher Sembroski (callsign: Rook) and chief medical officer Hayley Arceneaux (callsign: Nova) will fly aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon Resilience capsule as it departs aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from KSC's Launch Complex 39A on September 15, weather and all technical factors permitting.

Inspiration4 will only last three days, but the contribution by Commander Isaacman and his fellow crewmembers to human spaceflight will endure for a very long time. So excited for this mission!
