Inspiration4 mission commander Jared Isaacman stands for a portrait in front of a Falcon 9 rocket at SpaceX facilities in Hawthorne, California, in February 2021.
The mission was meant to demonstrate that people from all walks of life can train for and execute a mission to orbit.
I don’t know — it made me a real believer.”That’s why, Isaacman said, he worked with Musk and engineers at SpaceX to build the Polaris Program.
Polaris Dawn is the first mission under that umbrella, with at least two more ventures to space planned for later down the road.
The Polaris Program’s goal is to develop and test technologies that SpaceX would need if it established an extraterrestrial settlement.
