CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The four people on SpaceX’s first private flight are fairly ordinary, down-to-Earth types brought together by chance.

Meet the crew that’s taking space tourism to new heights following Wednesday night’s launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center:Isaacman struck it rich with the payment-processing business he started in his parents’ basement after quitting high school.

SpaceX launches 4 amateurs on private Earth-circling tripThe Dragon capsule’s two men and two women are looking to spend three days circling the world from an unusually high orbit — 100 miles (160 kilometers) higher than the International Space Station — before splashing down off the Florida coast this weekend. Leading the flight is Jared Isaacman, 38, who made his fortune with a payment-processing company he started in his teens.
