Stich also says the agency got great data from the private Inspiration4 mission. NASA was especially interested to get information about reentry performance of the vehicle and its parachutes coming back from a higher altitude.

Stich also congratulates SpaceX on the success of the Inspiration4 mission. NASA collected data from the flight, and will notably take a close look at the thermal protection system tiles after re-entering from a higher altitude.
Quote from: Michael Sheetz
Stich says NASA flew its WB-57 aircraft during Inspiration4's reentry "to collect some data on parachutes," which the agency is also examining alongside SpaceX.

One of my favorite photos with the half moon off to the side and all the different shades of white. What do you see in the clouds? 🤔

People have asked about seeing the stars while in space. Here is my best photo with Orion and I actually saw many satellites as streaks of light moving below us and caught this one in the 2nd photo. The blue smudge to the right is just light reflection off the glass.

Future human spaceflight gets a boost from Inspiration4 research

Quote from: Baylor College of Medicine
Crew members Jared Isaacman, Sian Proctor, Hayley Arceneaux and Chris Sembroski from Inspiration4, the world’s first all-civilian orbital mission, met Thursday in New York to provide new biological samples three months after their historic flight. Data will help scientists and researchers better understand how the human body adapts after spaceflight via research sponsored by the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) at Baylor College of Medicine.

The Inspiration4 crew spent three days in low-Earth orbit following launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center historic Launch Complex 39A on Sept. 15. Pre-launch, in-flight and post-return, the crew participated in human health research. The crew also received an update Thursday on the ongoing data analysis of health research conducted during the mission. 

“Analysis is currently underway on the more than 100,000 data points collected by the Inspiration4 mission, and we expect to have a complete picture in spring 2022,” said Dr. Dorit Donoviel, executive director of TRISH and professor of space medicine at Baylor. “The data sets provided by the Inspiration4 flight may inform on high-priority risks to astronaut health such as blood clots, urinary retention and space motion sickness.”

Quote from: the article
By early March, Hippchen started receiving vague emails seeking details about himself. That's when he read the contest's small print: The winner had to be under 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds.

Hippchen was 5-foot-10 and 330 pounds.

The sounds of @inspiration4x Dragon Resilience during a phasing burn.I described in moment as an orchestra but its a more percussion-like rhythm & very pleasant. So thankful for @SpaceX's talented team & all the giants @NASA whose shoulders we stand on.

We had the greatest Inspiration4 reunion at Starbase! So much time reminiscing & catching up. The four of us will share such a special bond forever. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to share this life-changing experience with 💛
