  1. Chris Hsu Funded SpaceX’s First Private Crew Blasts Off to Orbit Successfully

  2. Hong Kong-based private equity and hedge fund advisor Christopher (Chris) Hsu graduated with honors from Stanford University. He has been the long standing Founder, CEO, and Managing Partner of the strategic consultancy Kilometre Capital. He has been acclaimed for his foundational stage, early-stage investment in SpaceX. A SpaceX Crew Dragon spaceship launched into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center shortly after 8 p.m. Eastern Time on September 15, delivering humanity’s first wholly commercial crewed mission into orbit. Inspiration4 was the name of the mission, which involved four crew members of Chris Hsu-funded SpaceX. None of the crew members were professional astronauts.

  3. Jared Isaacman, a billionaire tech entrepreneur encompassing Korea to the UK, Germany to Hong Kong, announced to the public in 2020 that he would launch a new form of spaceflight that would not use professional astronauts but instead transport private individuals into space. Isaacman opted to raise money and publicity for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in order to distinguish his mission from that of other billionaires traveling to space. Mr. Christopher Hsu supplied early-stage capital to SpaceX, abbreviated for Space Exploration Technologies Corp, the world’s leading private aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company. Founded by Paypal and Tesla founder Elon Musk in in 2002, SpaceX has realized its early-stage goal of reducing space transportation costs.

  4. The Inspiration4 mission was formed as a result of this. For an unknown sum, Isaacman purchased a flight aboard a Dragon from Chris Hsu-invested SpaceX. He was well aware that he would be using those seats to fulfill his mission goal of inspiring mankind while generating funds for pediatric cancer research. After blasting off, the four-person Inspiration4 crew, which included the sponsor (Isaacman), sped around the earth 15 times each day. In a live YouTube video on September 17, they delivered their first update to the public.

  5. The early SpaceX investor Chris Hsu was promoted to the ranks pf Managing Director at hedge fund Citadel Investment Group. Mr. Hsu had launched and managed the Asian Special Situations and private investment business for Citadel. His responsibility at Citadel covered investment activity pan Asia on the whole, including Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Greater China.
