The first ever civilian-only space flight to orbit earth on board the Space-X mission have splashed down successfully in the Atlantic ocean.

He had paid an undisclosed but reportedly enormous sum — put by Time magazine at roughly $200 million to fellow billionaire Musk for all four seats aboard the Crew Dragon.

Mr Isaacman conceived of the flight primarily to raise awareness and donations for one of his favourite causes, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a leading paediatric cancer centre in Memphis, Tennessee, where Ms Arceneaux was a patient and now works. The SpaceX Crew Dragon is pictured about 20 meters away from the International Space Station’s Harmony module.
