February 2, 2021: On Monday, SpaceX announced that it would launch private individuals on a Crew Dragon capsule around the Earth.
The company’s spacecraft will be commanded by the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments, Jared Isaacman.
Isaacman will donate the three seats on the mission “to crew members who will be selected to represent the mission pillars of leadership, generosity, hope, and prosperity,” said SpaceX in a press release.
Isaacman gave St. Jude two seats on the mission, with one “reserved for a St. Jude ambassador with direct ties to the mission.”
The online competitions will decide the third and fourth crew seats that begin from February 1 to February 28, listed on the Inspiration4 website.
The third seat is open to the donators of St. Jude, while the fourth is open to new or existing customers of Isaacman’s Shift4Shop eCommerce platform.
The Inspiration4 crew will be trained by SpaceX, in which they will prepare for launch atop one of the company’s Falcon 9 rockets.
Elon Musk said on a call with reporters that the Inspiration4 mission’s length of time and other parameters are up to Isaacman.
“If you decide later you want to do a different mission, you totally can,” Musk said.
SpaceX plans to use the Resilience, the crew dragon spacecraft which is currently docked with the International Space Station, having launched the Crew-1 mission for NASA in November.
Musk said that NASA is supportive after briefing about the Inspiration4 mission.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
