ZONABANTEN.com – Jared Isaacman, the American founder and chief executive of e-commerce company Shift4 Payments, will lead the flight with three spaceflight startups.
Launch in an airplane capsule rocket SpaceX as part of a team of astro tourists ready to make history as the first civilian crew to launch into Earth orbit.
On a journey that is expected to last three days from launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida, to landing in the Atlantic.
The 38-year-old tech mogul is giving away an unspecified amount of money, but it may be too high for his fellow billionaires and owners SpaceX Elon Musk to fly Isaacman and three specially selected traveling companions into orbit aboard the capsule SpaceX Crew Dragon.

The crew vehicle is set for launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard one of the rocket Falcon 9 Musk.
The reusable, with a targeted launch window of 24 hours, opens at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT) on Wednesday.
The window will be narrowed, or perhaps changed, a few days in advance, depending on the weather.
A successful mission will help usher in a new era of commercial space tourism, with several companies competing.
As well as being willing to pay to feel the joy of supersonic, weightless flight and the visual spectacle of outer space.
