Space CEO mocks the Biden administration for not acknowledging their first all civilian mission
The SpaceX and White House did not immediately give a response for a comment. Top NASA officials had congratulated SpaceX on its success for the Inspiration4 mission
After completing a historic all civilian space mission, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk took a shot at the Biden administration who have yet to state any remarks on company’s and flight crew’s achievements. One of the followers of CEO on the social media platform Twitter stated that the United States President refused to acknowledge the newest four American astronauts, who helped in raising millions of dollars for the St. Jude. SpaceX was able to make their crew to return safely from the orbit yesterday. The spacecraft capsule had four members of the Inspiration4 mission who had spent three days in space. One of the major goal for the Inspiration4 mission was to raise over USD 200 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The mission was able to USD 160.1 million by the end of Saturday. The CEO Musk has now pledged to contribute more than USD 50 million for pushing the campaign’s total raised amount to over USD 210 million.
The SpaceX and White House did not immediately give a response for a comment. Top NASA officials had congratulated SpaceX on its success for the Inspiration4 mission. SpaceX competitors who are working on building space tourism had acknowledged it too. They received response from Boeing, Blue Origin and Jeff Bezos on social media. It has been marked as a first private SpaceX flight, which was based on a non-professional crew. In addition to this, the mission got involved the very first Black woman to ever serve as a spacecraft pilot, the first person with a prosthesis to fly in space and the youngest American to become an astronaut.
SpaceX has been able to enjoy a good relationship with the active government. For instance, the company won a USD 2.90 billion contract for building NASA’s next lunar lander, which is meant for beating Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin.
