 Welcome everybody to the first episode of the brand new three-episode mini-series inspiration for updates. We're going to get straight into it here as there is a lot of pre-launch launch and post-launch stuff to cover, so sit tight and get ready as this is your inspiration for update, one day into the mission. Launching at two minutes and 56 seconds past midnight UTC on September 16th, the crew of Jared Isaacman, Dr. Sian Proctor Haley Arsenault and Chris Sembroski had a bit of a day in the lead up to the launch. Departing Hangar X with four hours and five minutes to go until launch, the crew got into their custom Tesco Model X's and headed off down the road to the suit-up room. Different from the room used by the NASA crew missions, which is inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building, this is fully owned and operated by SpaceX, and this is the first time it is being used for a mission as it is the first mission with a fully private crew. You can clearly see the SpaceX aesthetic with the bright white floors and the dark grey walls. The crew also had a nice live view of Dragon resilience and what looks like another display with either the Inspiration 4 logo or what could possibly be a countdown timer as well, it's quite hard to see from this angle. In due course, an hour, the crew got back into their Teslas this time with their spacesuits dawned and with three hours to go, they headed for historic launch complex 39A. And then they arrived a minute later. The journey between the suit-up room and the pad for these private missions really isn't much but it'd be a bit unfair to make them walk all the way with their spacesuits on in the Florida heat. Once everyone was out, the crew got together to do a group and lean back to have a look at the Falcon 9 and Dragon they were about to ride and after that Haley and Cyan headed up the lift and they were shortly followed by Jared and Chris. After signing their names on the wall of the white room next to the SpaceX logo, boarding commenced with two hours and 47 minutes to go, Haley being the first to enter the capsule. She was shortly followed by the rest of the crew, Cyan, then Chris, and then finally Jared. 25 minutes later, the seats were rotated upwards and the capsule was ready for the closing of the hatch which finally occurred after some removal of foreign object debris or FOD from the seal. The crew were ready, mission and launch controls were ready and the moment we'd all been waiting for was just around the corner. Over six months of waiting and finally at two minutes and 56 seconds past midnight coordinated Universal Time inspiration for Took to the Sky, marking the fastest turnaround time a Dragon spacecraft has ever seen at 136.7 days. A nominal meco and stage separation occurred at T plus two minutes and 45 seconds into flight with booster B1062 flipping around to perform its turn and burn manoeuvre. Once a stable roughly 180 by 575 kilometer elliptical orbit had been achieved, the second stage engine shut down which was an ample opportunity for Haley to reveal the zero G indicator for the mission, a stuffed golden retriever. Continuing the trend of plushies being used to zero G indicators on Dragon flights, this particular one was selected as golden retrievers are used as assistance animals at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital which this mission is supporting. The hospital also has their own version of the plush available on their gift shop which I'll link below. If you watched the pre-launch preview from last week's show you're probably wondering why I haven't mentioned the cupola yet and that's because we hadn't seen it until SpaceX tweeted a video of it with the earth in the background and it does look rather cool. I can't wait to see what photos the crew will be able to take from it and one final note to add, whilst the Dragon vehicle is in orbit it will keep setting the record for the most dragons to ever be in orbit simultaneously, the prior record being only two. Currently we have resilience and the two dragons docked to the International Space Station supporting their respective crew and commercial resupply missions. The current altitude of around 585 kilometers is also the highest a dragon has ever gone setting yet another record. That's it for day one so before we leave let's thank the citizens of tomorrow. The continued financial support from the escape velocity orbital suborbital angle round support citizens ensures that the show can go on and we can provide many updates just like this one.

Thank you for watching I'll see you tomorrow for day two of what has been happening up on orbit with inspiration for bye bye
