SpaceX  has made its mark in history yet again with its most recent mission going splendidly, despite the all-civilian crew. SpaceX’s most recent space mission Inspiration4 has concluded after three days as the four civilians in charge of the mission have landed back on Earth safely.

In the early hours of Sunday, the all-civilian crew of Inspiration4, a one-of-a-kind space mission, splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean right off the Florida coast after successfully navigating around the planet 90 times during their three day trip to space.

SpaceX has created history by sending a team of ordinary people with no experience as an astronaut whatsoever in space. These four civilians launched into space in the SpaceX Dragon capsule to the Earth’s orbit at an altitude of nearly 590 km, which is the farthest since the Apollo mission to the Moon.

In a first, Space X which sent an all-civilian crew to space are “healthy, happy and resting comfortably,” the company said in a statement on Thursday. SpaceX’s Inspiration4 mission blasted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday night with four American space tourists.

Inspiration4s Crew Dragon capsule, named Resilience, is carrying four non-professional astronauts- billionaire Jared Isaacman, physician assistant Hayley Arceneaux, geoscientist Sian Proctor and aerospace data engineer Chris Sembroski. They are orbiting the globe at an altitude that at times reaches 590 kilometers (367 miles).

“The four American space tourists traveled 5.5 times around Earth, completed their first round of scientific research, and enjoyed a couple of meals before going to bed,” Space X said. Meanwhile, CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he had personally spoken with the crew and ‘all is well’.
