Summary
Today we're talking with two of the four people who will be making history later this year as part of the world's first all-civilian crew going to space. Yes, that means no traditionally-trained astronaut will be on board.
First, you'll hear from Hayley Arceneaux, who will be making history in more ways than one: she'll also be the first child cancer survivor in space, the first person with a prosthetic body part in space, and, at 29 years old, she'll be the youngest American to visit space.
She was chosen to join the mission by our second guest, Jared Isaacman. He's the billionaire partnering with SpaceX to make this historic "Inspiration 4" launch possible. He's also donating and raising millions of dollars for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as part of the mission.
