01 // Synopsis
Inspiration4 was the first human spaceflight to orbit Earth with only private citizens on board.
The mission promoted and raised money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The crew and mission intended to raise upwards of US$100 million to expand St. Jude's childhood cancer research. The five-part series follows the mission from Jared Isaacman’s announcement of the mission and select of the three people who fly with him through training. The final episode covers the mission itself, from final preparations for launch through splashdown.

The filmmakers took advantage of their exclusive access to take viewers behind the scenes of the mission. There are extensive interviews with the four crewmembers, their families, and others working on the mission, including SpaceX employees. There is dramatic aerial footage of the launch—shot, presumably, from a drone near the pad—looking down as the Falcon 9 lifts off, turning dusk briefly back to day, and following it until the rocket soars past towards space. There’s also video of the crew in space, having fun in weightlessness and enjoying the views of Earth from the spacecraft’s cupola, far more than the glimpses we got during the mission.
