SpaceX Will Send Civilians Into Space To Break World Record

SpaceX, in partnership with Space Adventures, plans to launch four space tourists into orbit, marking the first all-American orbital space tourism experience. The mission, launching from Cape Canaveral, will last five days and aims to break the world altitude record for private citizen spaceflight. The tourists will travel in the Crew Dragon capsule, which can carry up to seven passengers. The exact launch date is yet to be announced, but it is expected between late next year and early 2022.
