Can anyone provide me a short explanation of the backrgound of SpaceX
launching a Dragon with a few people in it for a few days? Is someone
paying for this or is SpaceX running the flight using used stage 1 and
dragon out of its own petty cash?
Just wondering if this is a PR stunt or a bona fide commercial flight
with someone paying for it?
If this is a PR stunt paid by SpaceX, it has one HUGE message: SpaceX
has lowered costs down to a point where it can afford to launch on its own.

JF Mezei formulated the question :
It is well documented what this flight is. The commander of the
mission is paying for the flight, but it is also being used as a
fundraiser for St Judes Hospital. The mission specialist was chosen
from those making significant donations to St Judes in the period after
the flight was announced. The mission health officer was chosen as a
former St Judes patient who now works for St Judes. The pilot was
chosen for representing entreprenurial spirit, but also has piloting
cred.

Seriously it's not like any of this is a secret.

Thanks. I had heard mention of St-Judes, but no explanation as clear as

what you provided. Heard labeling as "first commercial flight", or
"first all civilian flight". but hadn't heard the details you mentioned.
