SpaceX to fly first civilian crew to space later this year, with public competitions for two seats - Palahniuk #1

Elon Musk is putting his privately funded rocket, Resilience up to space with four civilians aboard. The purpose behind this trip is to raise money from St. Jude’s Research Hospital. The first civilian and colander of the craft will be Jared Issacman, co-founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments. The other three civilian seats will be selected upon those who are directly involved with St. Judes, online competition, and a random selection of those who are already a member of Shift4Shop (another Issacman company). The launch is expected to take play within the first four months of 2021 and as time creeps closer to take off Issacman is expected to finalize decisions, as Musk has announced that the parameters are all up to Issacman. Despite seeking this as a charity launch, this may be the first all civilian mission but I believe Musk is marking the beginning of a new era for space traveling. By 2023 Musk aims to have three more civilian missions done. Anyone interested in participating in the online open competition to earn a seat in SpaceX Resilience can visit Insiration4 website from Feb 1st - Feb 28th, 2021.
