The tech billionaire who launched on his own SpaceX flight last year is heading back up, aiming for an even higher orbit and the chance to take part in a spacewalk.

Jared Isaacman announced he will make another private spaceflight launching from Nasa’s Kennedy Space Centre, alongside two SpaceX engineers and a former air force fighter pilot.
