Space should be for everyone. That’s why we selected a crew representing leadership, hope, generosity, and prosperity—each embodying a pillar of our mission.

Analysis

In the Netflix documentary *Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space*, Jared Isaacman says, “Space is for everyone. That’s why we selected a crew that embodies leadership, hope, generosity and perseverance.” Media reports quoting his remarks use the same wording. The statement replaces “perseverance” with “prosperity,” altering the intended meaning of the mission’s pillars.

Background

Jared Isaacman funded the Inspiration4 mission, the first all‑civilian orbital flight, and emphasized that space should be accessible to all. The crew was selected to represent four pillars – leadership, hope, generosity and perseverance – reflecting the mission’s values and charitable goals.

Verdict summary

The quote is close but not exact; the fourth pillar was “perseverance,” not “prosperity.”
