Inspiration4
Congratulations to Inspiration4 crewmembers Christopher Sembroski, Dr. Sian Proctor, Jared Isaacman and Hayley Arceneaux for receiving their astronaut wings yesterday!
The all-private crew received its dragon-shaped award during a visit to SpaceX Headquarters in Hawthorne, California...in a surprise ceremony held by the company's employees.
It remains to be seen if the Federal Aviation Administration will bestow its own commercial astronaut wings onto the Inspiration4 crewmembers—since they were designated as 'spaceflight participants' by SpaceX (due to FAA regulation) while the mission was being conceived earlier this year.
In the meantime, these four pioneers should celebrate the fact that they'll hopefully be the first group of many who'll receive this beautiful recognition by SpaceX after flying aboard its Crew Dragon (and someday Starship) vehicle on a journey above the Earth and beyond. That is all.
