Elon Musk says the Inspiration4 mission's parameters are up to Isaacman."We're assuming two to four days," but that may change.
Elon Musk says SpaceX plans to use Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience for the Inspiration4 mission.Resilience is currently docked with the space station, having launched NASA's Crew-1 mission.
Sounds like preparation for the mission will include preparation on a mountainside: In the snow, with the four-person crew inside a tent smaller than Crew Dragon.Issacman: "I will introduce a very stressful situation.""Everyone's got to eat a giant bean burrito," Musk quips.
Musk says NASA has been briefed on this mission and is supportive. Plan is to use the Crew Dragon spacecraft currently on orbit, Resilience.
Medical restrictions? Elon Musk says if you can go on the Hulk ride at Universal Studios in Florida, you should be fine.

Wow, between this and the Axiom missions it looks like NASA will be less than half of Dragon missions. No wonder Gwynne Shotwell deliberately only counted ISS Crew and Resupply in the press conference after the last mission. Once again shows how hard it is to overestimate SpaceX, I knew they were aiming for the private market as well, but seeing so many missions coming this soon still blows my mind.I guess getting loads of publicity now will also help motivate people to pave the way for getting Starship licensed.

SpaceX and Jared Isaacman have announced the @inspiration4x mission, dedicated to fighting childhood cancer at @StJude, which will include an all-expenses paid trip for a member of the general public.ARTICLE: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2021/02/spacex-announces-inspiration4/Lead photo: Brady Kenniston (@TheFavoritist)
The Spaceflight is tentatively scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida on or around October 21, 2021 (such date subject to change at the sole discretion of Launch Services Provider) (the “Prize”).
