SpaceX’s private Inspiration4 crew gets their astronaut wings: Times Of Nation

The four private space travelers who soared into orbit on SpaceX’s historic Inspiration4  mission last month officially have their astronaut wings.

The civilian crew, which rode a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft into orbit on Sept. 15 and returned to Earth three days later, received their astronaut wings from the company on Friday (Oct. 1) in a presentation at SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

“Yesterday we were presented with our SpaceX astronaut wings,” Inspiration4 astronaut Hayley Arceneaux, the mission’s medical officer, wrote in a Twitter post Saturday. “This beautiful symbol of our journey means everything to me! Also if it looks like I’m crying, mind your business.”

I cried when I got my wings!”

Arceneaux wasn’t alone in her jubilation. 

“I cried when I got my wings!” Sian Proctor, a geoscientist and space communicator who served as the Inspiration4 crew’s pilot on the mission, wrote on Twitter.

Inspiration4 was a three-day commercial space mission financed by American entrepreneur and billionaire Jared Isaacman, who bought four seats to orbit on a SpaceX Dragon and Falcon 9 rocket. Isaacman donated three of the seats to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer research by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Arceneaux, a St. Jude physicians assistant and childhood bone cancer survivor, represented the hospital on the flight. Proctor and another civilian, aerospace data engineer Chris Sembroski, won their seats as part of public contests. They were the first all-civilian crew to fly in space without a professional astronaut, and Proctor became the first Black female spaceship pilot in history on the flight.

During their flight, the Inspiration4 astronauts spent three days circling the Earth, performing science experiments and gazing out the largest single window ever built for space, a dome-shaped cupola that SpaceX attached to the nose of the Dragon capsule for the mission. Their mission is the subject of a Netflix documentary series and raised over $200 million for St. Jude. 

“Until we meet again, thank you to all the amazing people at @SpaceX who have done so much for me and @inspiration4x,” Sembroski, Inspiration4’s mission specialist, wrote on Twitter. “And most of all, thanks to my beautiful wife Erin who gave so much to support this dream on a most incredible journey.”

According to SpaceX and the Inspiration4 teams, the private astronauts were invited to the company’s headquarters Friday to share the experiences from their spaceflight. The astronaut wings presentation was apparently a surprise. 

“Our Inspiration4 crew visited SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California yesterday, and was surprised with SpaceX Dragon wings,” Inspiration4’s outreach team wrote on Twitter.

Isaacman, who has not disclosed how much be paid for the Inspiration4 flight, thanked SpaceX on Saturday for the flight.

“It was great to see all our SpaceX friends and thank them for making this mission a success,” Isaacman added on Twitter. “Incredible memories.
