Data map: News on November 17, 2020. At around 11 pm Eastern Time on the 16th, after a 27-hour flight, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft carrying 4 astronauts completed docking with the International Space Station. The picture shows the Dragon spacecraft docked at the International Space Station.

Isaacman booked SpaceX's first private space trip. Previously, Isaacman gave one of the four seats on the SpaceX Dragon capsule to St. Jude Hospital.

html In January, Ahino received a call at her home in Memphis, Tennessee, asking if she wanted to represent St. Jude Hospital in space. Her immediate reaction was: "Okay, okay, please (let me go)!" But she still asked her mother first. Next, she asked her brother and sister-in-law for their opinions. They were both aerospace engineers and assured her that space travel was safe.

On February 22, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital announced that Ahino, a 29-year-old physician assistant hired in the spring of 2020, will become one of Isaacman's private space travel members.

When Ahino takes off on a rocket in the fall of 2021, he will become the youngest American in space, younger than the record holder, NASA astronaut Sally Ride. Ahino will join Isaacman and two other winners who have not yet been chosen.

Ahino will also be the first American to wear a prosthetic leg in space. When she was 10 years old, she underwent surgery at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to replace her knee and a piece of titanium bone in her left thigh bone. Ahino still walks with a limp and her legs still hurt occasionally, but she has obtained permission from SpaceX and will serve as the medical officer for this journey.

Ahino said in an interview: "The experience of fighting cancer really prepared me for space travel. Fighting cancer made me strong, and then I think it did teach me to expect the unexpected and adapt to changes."

She hopes to use this to show her young patients or other cancer patients that "the sky is no longer the limit." She said: "Seeing an anti-cancer fighter go into space means a lot to these children."
