How billionaire Jared Isaacman is using fighter jets to prepare his crew for private SpaceX missions

billionaires like fighter jets and are no different than astronauts

The first spaceflight of the Polaris Program, which was announced earlier this year, is being trained with the help of Shift4 co- founder and CEO, Eric Isaacman. Fighter jets from his personal fleet are being used by his crew to prepare for Polaris Dawn.

There is a lot of planning that goes into a mission, and we can't go to space very often, according to the man.

Isaacman said that using fighter aircraft is a great way to train for the launch. NASA uses a similar practice with its astronauts.

The launch of Polaris Dawn is expected to take place early next year. The first mission is expected to be the first crewed launch of the Starship rocket.

The objectives of the program are to conduct a spacewalk outside of the Crew Dragon capsule and use Starlink internet to communicate with satellites. There will be roughly 40 science and research payloads flying on the mission.

The company is making a lot of investments in the project, including developing space suits and changing parts of the Crew Dragon spaceship. Polaris was created with Musk after the Inspiration4 mission, which raised more than $200 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

I didn't think I was going to space again, but seeing the direction the company is going with Starship was pretty exciting.
