The flight was purchased by Jared Isaacman, founder of Shift4 payments, and has worked throughout to help raise 200$ million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with the venture. He's also bringing along Dr. Sian Proctor, a geoscientist, entrepreneur, and trained pilot; Hayley Arceneaux, a physician assistant at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital; and Chris Sembroski, an aerospace data engineer.

It will be interesting how their trip fares in orbit over the next few days, you can watch the livestream [here] which starts in 2 hours as of this post.
