SpaceX's Inspiration4 became the first-ever all-private mission to reach Earth orbit Wednesday night (Sept. 15), riding a Falcon 9 rocket into the final frontier.
Inspiration4's Crew Dragon capsule, a vehicle called Resilience, soon settled into a circular orbit 364 miles (585 kilometers) above our planet. That's higher than any Crew Dragon has ever gone, and about 115 miles (185 km) above the path taken by the International Space Station.
