Jared Isaacman, CEO of payments processing company Shift 4, recently purchased three more flights into space with Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX, the first of which is expected to depart later this year.

The series of flights, called “Polaris” after the North Star, will occur at the end of 2022 and into 2023 and are expected to go further into space than any person has traveled since the moon landing. Isaacman told the Washington Post that the goal is to travel into “deep space,” which is typically considered the moon or further. The first flight is expected to last five days and includes a spacewalk.
