After much waiting, we’re finally getting to some of the footage recorded during last week’s historic all-civilian flight into orbit. SpaceX tourist and science communications specialist Sian Proctor shared a video of a truly precious moment: the first time the Inpsiration4 crew got to open the hatch to the Crew Dragon’s massive glass dome — a “true highlight of the Inspiration4 mission,” according to Proctor. Mind Blown To foster a more compelling tourism experience, SpaceX decided to replace the Crew Dragon’s docking module, normally used to dock with the International Space Station, with a massive glass dome or “cupola.” About 20 minutes into last week’s launch, the crew got to open the hatch for the first time — and the video speaks for itself. Cancer survivor and crew member Hayley Arceneaux appears to be speechless at the sight towards the end of the movie. “Holy shit,” former Space Camp counselor and crew member Chris Sembroski could be heard muttering in the background.
