On September 15, SpaceX will make history by launching the first all-civilian crew into a low-Earth orbit. The mission, Inspiration4, will prove a riskier and possibly more exciting venture than other recent commercial space flights.

The Inspiration4 will be the third prominent commercial space mission this year, with Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin both aiming for space in July of this year. However, Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to go that bit further than its rivals.
