Today is the last day of the Inspiration4 3-day orbital flight entirely crewed by civilian astronauts. The flight is a charity event in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which treats children who are cancer patients free of charge. The hospital has a goal of raising $200 million in donations to continue its work.

One of the crew, Hayley Arceneaux, is a physician assistant at St. Jude's who was a patient there in her childhood. She is a delightfully whimsical person whose favorite Trek character is Dr. McCoy!
