SpaceX has been paid to launch four civilians into low-Earth orbit on a multi-day trip. Three of those passengers just learned they’d be going less than a year ago.The mission is called Inspiration4 and it's the first time regular people, not NASA astronauts, will make up the entirety of a space crew.To go into orbit and return home the crew will experience up to 6 G-forces, use a tiny spacecraft toilet for three days and essentially become a meteor crashing through the Earth’s atmosphere on their way back down.Axios space reporter Miriam Kramer and Inspiration4 mission photographer John Kraus join Space Curious to talk about what sets this mission apart and how the ragtag crew was assembled.Learn more about your ad choices.
