He bought a second ticket for a (former) St Jude patient who survived (to eventually become a nurse at St Jude). She'll be the "medical officer", which I'm not sure is a civilian title or crew one. Lots of "survivors can do anything" PR, plus there's an angle that space x is making space travel safe/common enough that you don't need to be medically perfect to qualify (she still has some sort of prosthesis from her treatment). It's a pretty brilliant PR campaign all around. She'll also become the youngest person ever to fly to space. ETA: Haley Arceneaux
