Last year, Jim Bridenstine – the former NASA administrator under then-President Donald Trump – announced a film project starring Tom Cruise aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
However, details of the project have not been disclosed at the moment, which should be done in cooperation with SpaceX. The four Inspiration4 passengers, billionaire Jared Isaacman and three other Americans, took off Wednesday night from Cape Canaveral, Florida. They are currently orbiting Earth beyond the ISS, and the mission is scheduled to last three days in total.
