Four amateur astronauts have traveled to space recently. On September 10 this year, they went on a space trip on Tuesday. This opened up a new dimension of commercial space travel. So far only professional astronauts have gone into space on various missions. Many astronauts have also worked on the space station. But this journey of four astronauts is a new milestone for mankind, without its work or mission. Elon Musk's SpaceX has helped fulfill this dream of people. The mission was named the SpaceX Polaris Dawn Mission.

There were two SpaceX officials and two rich people as astronauts on this journey. The mission was led by billionaire Jared Isaacman. He had previously traveled to space on the 'Inspiration4' mission. They were out of space for more than an hour. From there he saw the immense beauty of the world. International media such as BBC, Reuters and Al Jazeera broadcast live the wonderful moments of seeing the world from outside the capsule on Thursday, September 12.

When astronaut Isaacman opened the capsule door of the spaceship and looked at the Earth from an altitude of 757 km, Polaris Dawn was orbiting the Earth at a speed of 25 thousand kilometers per hour. After Isaacman, SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis came out of the capsule. The other two members of the mission were US Air Force Commander Scott Kidd and another SpaceX engineer, Anna Menon.

This mission is a prime example of the fact that amateur astronauts can travel in space alongside professional astronauts. Apart from government missions, we may see more commercial missions from now on. Some people can go to space just for the purpose of travel. For that you just have to be a millionaire. SpaceX opened a new door for mankind in the future.
