February 24, 2021
Hailey Arceneaux is about to experience something out of this world. The 29-year-old will be aboard the first ever all-civilian SpaceX mission - that’s right, no astronauts! Her story is inspiring. At 10 years old, Hailey was diagnosed with leg cancer, and she underwent treatment and rehabilitation at St. Jude’s Children's Hospital in Memphis. Today, she works as a physician's assistant at that same hospital. The flight, captained by billionaire Jared Issacson, is called Inspiration 4.
