Mr Isaacman will be the commander of the spacecraft

[Beauty Sirikarn]

Once selected, the crew will undergo a rigorous, months-long training programme, including mission simulations in zero gravity.

Ms Arceneaux - the flight's medical officer - has already tried on her space suit. It was "so cool" but "heavier than I expected", she said.

She will presumably get used to it by the time the rocket lifts off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, sometime at the latter end of 2021.

Then, Ms Arceneaux will be wearing the suit for several days as her spacecraft - a SpaceX Dragon capsule - circles the globe.

At the end of the mission, the Dragon will re-enter Earth's atmosphere for a soft-water landing off the east coast of the US.

Are Ms Arceneaux's nerves jangling?
"I'm really not nervous. I've met the lead engineers for every aspect of this mission. I really trust them."

Compared to what she went through as a child, space travel should be no problem.

"Getting to represent cancer patients and survivors is an incredible honour. It really wasn't that long ago that I was in their shoes," she said. pg

"When you're going through cancer treatment, you're so focused on the day-to-day. It can be really difficult to look toward the future. I hope that this mission will allow them to imagine their future."
