American space tourists spent their first day in orbit

The four American space tourists spent their first day in orbit in the SpaceX spacecraft, conducting scientific research and talking to patients at a hospital for cancer patients, after they took off from Cape Canaveral the day before. The children at St Jude's Hospital were able to talk to the inspiration4 mission crew, "asking them the question that everyone is asking: 'Are there cows on the moon?'" the hospital tweeted. Inspiration4 is the first space mission composed entirely of private citizens on board. The crew "circled the Earth 5.5 times, carried out the first series of scientific research and had a few meals" before going to bed, said on Twitter the company founded by Elon Musk. He said on his Twitter account that he had spoken with the crew and that "everything is fine".
