LA Times  

A billionaire, a physician assistant, a geoscience professor and an engineer rocketed to space aboard a SpaceX capsule in the latest milestone for the commercial space industry — the first time an entire crew of people who aren’t professional astronauts reached orbit. Business SpaceX and tech CEO’s pitch: Donate $10 to charity, win a trip into orbit SpaceX plans to launch tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman and three others on a multiday journey in orbit around the Earth as early as this year. In July, British billionaire Richard Branson and a crew of five other Virgin Galactic employees reached the edge of space in Branson’s company’s space plane — the first time the craft had flown with a full crew aboard. Then, days later, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos flew to suborbital space with three others aboard his space company Blue Origin’s rocket and capsule system.
